Managing Users, User Groups, and User Rights

Adding User Groups
Interplay creates default user groups during the server installation. You can create additional
groups so that you can more easily manage access to the database. For example, you might have
a group of editors that should always have Read/Write/Delete privileges on all files. You might
also have a group of assistants that should have Read/Write privileges. In this case you can set up
two user groups that have different sets of privileges: one named Editors, and one named
Assistants.
To create a user group:
1. In the User Management section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the User
Management icon.
The User Management view opens.
2. In the Users pane, select the group into which you want to add a the new user group. To
create a group at the top level, select Users.
3. Do one of the following:
t Press Ctrl+G for a new user group.
t Click the Create User Group button.
4. Add a name and a description for the new group.
By default, the description is inherited from the group in which you created the group.
All special characters are allowed in user and group names except “\”, “/”, “|” and quotes ("
and '). For more information, see
“Viewing and Setting Attributes” on page 127.
5. (Option) Select a role for the new group.
Roles are inherited from the group in which you create the group. For more information, see
“Viewing and Changing Roles” on page 129.
6. Click Apply.
Adding Users Manually
You need to add users manually if you do not automatically add them through Unity
(shared-storage) authentication. Even if you import Windows Domain or LDAP users, you need
to add users manually if they are added to the Windows domain or LDAP server.
To add a user manually:
1. In the User Management section of the Interplay Administrator window, click the User
Management icon.
The User Management view opens.
2. In the Users pane, select the group into which you want to add a user.
