Users and Groups


Adding and Configuring Users

Users and groups can be managed on the 'Users & Groups' page of the 'System' menu. Here the names of authorized users and groups are displayed in the table. All members of an authorized group are given the permissions of that group (membership is applied transitively). Users and groups can have their access removed by clicking the bin icon. Click the pencil icon to change the roles that have been assigned to a user or group. Changes to permissions can be discarded by clicking 'Cancel'.

Additional users and groups can be granted access to SiteManager Platform, SiteBackup, and SiteDeploy and assigned roles to control how much access they have. Permissions are configured separately for each provider, select the correct provider from the dropdown before configuring permissions:

The structure of the directory is navigable through the tree on the left, which shows the folders and organizational units that have been configured on the domain or local computer. On the right is a table listing the users and groups in the selected folder. Rows can be selected using the checkbox and added to the permissions list when the 'Add' button is pressed.

All users and groups that are added to the active permissions listing are given the 'Viewer' role by default, this role has the most restricted access. To increase a user's or group's access further, select the pencil icon shown next to the user or group in the 'Actions' column.

In the window that opens, the custom and pre-defined roles, described above, will be displayed. Select any combination of roles to control how much access the selected user or group will have:

Select 'Save' to assign the chosen roles to the user or group, or select 'Cancel' to discard the changes.
