3 Users and Roles

Understand the following terms before you begin performing User Management.

• Users: Customers create users in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and can do the following:
  • Map them to existing groups
  • Create new groups to map them

  After users are created, they are synced from IAM to PACS.

• Groups: Groups are seeded (available out-of-the-box) by PACS. Customers can also create new groups in IAM. After groups are created, they are synced from IAM to PACS. Groups are mapped to roles using PACS by the same user that was created using IAM.
• Roles: Roles are seeded by PACS. Customers can also create new roles using PACS and assign existing functions to these new roles.
• Functions: Functions are seeded by PACS. Customers cannot create new functions; however, they can only use the existing functions.
