Users
Users can be assigned to departments and they can have a public or private visibility.
Granting a user private visibility means the user can be added to public and private groups that are assigned to the user's department, the user can be set as the authorized user of transfer definitions that are assigned to the user's department, and the user can have a server credential created for public and private servers assigned to the user's department.
Granting a user public visibility means the user can perform what a private user is capable to perform, can be added to a public group assigned to another department, can be set as the authorized user of a transfer definition that is assigned to another department, and can also have a server credential created for a public server assigned to another department. User IDs must be unique throughout the system, thus users in different departments cannot have the same user ID. A user can belong to only one department in the system.
UpdateTransferUserRight supports users to update users who have only TransferRight. ViewUserRight supports users to view users.
Add User
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Department Administrator | Department administrators can create a user with TransferRight (default) and assign the user to their departments or any departments that they can manage.
By default, the user is assigned to the departments to which the department administrators belong. Department administrators can assign users assigned to their departments or any departments that they can manage, the system administrative rights within these departments. This means department administrators cannot create super administrators, but they can create another administrator for their departments and any departments that they can manage. The visibility of the users can be set to public or private. Setting visibility to public makes the users visible and available for all other department administrators in the system. |
| Super Administrator | Same as department administrators but the user can be assigned to any department in the system or to none at all.
Super administrators can create super administrators, department administrators, and users with any available rights. If a user is not assigned to a department, the user gains no special properties. This means that the user can only be administered by super administrators. |
Add From Existing User
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Department Administrator | Using this feature, department administrators can create a new user and assign the user to their departments or any departments that they can manage.
By default, the user is assigned to the departments to which the department administrators belong. The new user can be created from a pre-existing user from the departments to which the department administrators belong, or from a pre-existing user from the departments that the department administrators can manage. The new user are automatically given rights depending on the user that is being used as a template. However, department administrators cannot give the new user any rights that they do not have. For example, a department administrator who only has AdministratorRight cannot assign UpdateServerCredentialRight to a new user. |
| Super Administrator | Using this feature, super administrators can create a user who can be assigned to any department in the system or to no department at all. The new user can only be created from any pre-existing user in the system and will be given all the rights that the existing user possesses. |
Manage User
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Department Administrator | Department administrators can update users assigned to their departments and any departments that they can manage.
Department administrators can change the department to which the user is assigned to their own departments or to any departments that they can manage. Visibility of the user can be changed to public or private by department administrators. |
| Super Administrator | Super administrators can list, update, and delete all users in the system. The department that the user is assigned to can be changed to any department in the system or to none at all. Visibility of the user can be changed to public or private. |
