User Management

How you configure and manage user types and individual users is dependent upon user-type settings.

User type settings affect the user management process. You should consider these points when configuring user types and individual users:

• These settings allow the user logging in under this user type to open the Users page and manage users.

• A user having access to the Users page can see the list of all users existing in the system. However, the user can modify only the users of types defined under Can create users of these user types. Users of other types have no buttons and cannot be included in group actions (that is, no check boxes are available to them).

• If no user types have been defined in the Can create users of these user types section, the user can see the users list but cannot modify existing user settings or add new users.

• A user is always related to one or more resources. The choice of resources for creating a new user is affected, on one hand, by the Assigned resource types setting in the User Type configuration and, on the other hand, by the Users can be created at the level of this resource feature of the resource type.

• When creating a new user type, the User Type field contains the list of user types defined in the Can create users of these user types field of the current user type.
