Users

This view allows the administrator to manage user accounts and groups in order to create a hierarchical administration structure.

Users can only manage DEVICE SECURITY instances based on their group membership.

Hierarchy Example

hierarchy_ex

This image shows a hierarchical sample structure. This example contains:

  • Two users (User X , User Y)
  • Three Customer Groups (Customer A, Customer B and Customer C)
  • Three Licenses of Customer A, two licenses of Customer B and C

In order to achieve this structure, the licenses of Customer A are allocated to the Customer A group, the licenses of Customer B to the Customer B group ...

User X is a member of the groups Customer A and Customer B. User Y is just a member of Customer C. As a result of these group memberships, User X is able to manage all DEVICE SECURITY instances which are using the licenses of Customer A and Customer B. User Y can manage all instances of Customer C.
