Managing Users, User Groups, and User Rights
128
n
The password should only include characters from the ASCII the character set. Multibyte
passwords might cause login problems, and the administrator then has to reset the password.
To set the internal password:
1. In the Users list, select a user.
2. Type the password and the confirmation in the text box.
3. Click Apply.
The user can change his or her password anytime in the login dialog box.
c
If you select the Internal Authentication option and do not set a password, anyone can log
in with that user name and no password.
Understanding Standard Roles and Default Rights
After you have created the user groups and individual users, you can review and if necessary
change their roles. The role determines the rights or permissions that the user groups and
individual users have. If you assign a role to a user group, all the users in that group inherit the
group rights. If you add a user to a user group, the user inherits the group rights.
A user might have different roles, depending on the group in which the user belongs. The overall
accumulated inherited role for a user is the highest role (the role with the most rights) that the
user has in any one user group. This is the role that is displayed in the User Management view.
See
“Guidelines for User Management” on page 143 for an example of an accumulated inherited
role.
The five standard roles and their default rights are as follows:
• Administrator: An Administrator has Read/Write/Delete rights plus the right to carry out
administrative tasks such as logging on to the Interplay Administrator, adding users,
managing groups, and so on. Only Administrators can see all items in the Deleted Items
folder in Interplay Access.
• Read/Write/Delete: Users are allowed to view, import, edit, delete, rename, and move any
item in the database. They can view items they have deleted themselves in the Deleted Items
folder in Interplay Access.
• Read/Write: This role allows users to view, import, and edit items in the database.
• Read: These users can copy files to their local disk, but cannot delete, edit or import any
item into the database. Read-only users cannot change properties.
• No Access: This role takes away all user rights, but the user is not removed. This is useful if
you want to control access on a folder basis, for example, if you do not want a particular set
of users to be able to view selected folders in the database. This is the default role for users
in the Everyone, Imported Users, and Migrated Users folders.
