Management of user accounts

  • Updated

In User Management, an organisational structure (hierarchy) and user accounts are created. 

 

Identify the information and roles assigned to each user 

 

Users may also be set up in User Management manually and, in the event that integration with AD is available, automatically as well. 
 

A unique name, username and password is defined for each user. User privileges may also be set for a fixed period of time. User privileges may be set as inactive temporarily for the duration of the user's longer absence, for example. 

 

Creating a new account 
 

When you are on the "Users" tab you need to click "Actions" button and select "Create user"

Each application has a set of predefined default user roles. Each user roles includes one or several actions the role allows the user to perform. One or several user roles may be defined for each user to determine the functions they are allowed to execute in the application.

Click ‘Edit roles’. The ‘Application’ drop-down menu shows the Cloudia applications that have been deployed in your organisation. Select the application to which you want to assign user privileges. Select the role by ticking the box of the desired role.
