Managing Users, User Groups, and User Rights
The User Management view lets you create, modify, manage and delete users and user groups. It
also lets you define user roles and authentication protocols. If you are working in an environment
that includes more than one Interplay Engine, you should manage users through a CCS (see
“Understanding the Central Configuration Server” on page 104). Managing users through a CCS
lets you manage users across multiple workgroups.
If you work at a relatively small site where all editors and assistants have access to all the current
projects, then you can set all user roles by user groups. If you work at a site where you need to
limit access to some projects, you can set roles for users on specific folders. See
“Managing
Database Roles” on page 133
.
For more information about managing user roles, with specific examples, see “Setting Up a
Folder Structure and a User Database” in the Interplay Best Practices Guide.
The following illustration shows the User Management view with the Administrators group
selected. In this example, there are three custom user groups: Assistants, Editors, and Graphic
Artists.
