Users and Groups
Efficient user group administration
User groups enable the creation of a shared right profile for several users with identical
competencies. Furthermore, the user accounts contained in the member list can
be added to the group. The rights of these user accounts therefore no longer have to
be configured individually. This way, the rights administration within the system is
made easier.
If the rights are administered through user groups, the user profile only stores general
data as well as user-related settings (key combinations, language settings, …).
When initiating the system, it is recommended to create different groups for users
with different competencies (e. g. Office and IT) and to assign the respective user
accounts to these groups.
If the user competencies are to be further divided, more groups can be created.
EXAMPLE: If some users of the Office group are to be provided with the multi-access
right, this possibility can be implemented by creating user groups:
Create a user group (e. g. Office_MultiAccess) with identical settings for the Office
group. The multi-access right is set to full. Assign the respective user accounts to this
group.
Create a user group (e. g. MultiAccess) and only set the multi-access right to Yes. In
addition to the Office group, also assign the respective user accounts to this group.
In both cases, the user is provided with the full effective right for multi-access.
ADVICE: The user profile offers the possibility to provide extended rights to a
group member.
Administering user accounts
User accounts enable you to define individual rights for every user.
IMPORTANT: The administrator as well as all users that hold the Superuser right are
permitted to create and delete user accounts and edit rights and user-related settings.
