User Management

Managing users

User types

Settings allows you to create users with their email addresses and manage their permissions.

You can create the following user types in Settings:

  • Global users: Users have access to all tenants.
  • Subtenant users: These users are assigned to a subtenant and only have access to assets of a specific subtenant.

Subtenant user

A subtenant user needs the role to get access to applications on the launchpad. See also - Standard roles - Using subtenants

For a better management of users and to assign roles to multiple users, Settings offers the creation of user groups.
