Security and Permissions

Access to specific parts of the application is controlled by permissions, assigned to a individual user or to a group. There are two types of permissions:

  • Global permissions – To perform admin operations (such as manage users, templates, global alerts) and to provide access to the Overview sections (Accounts, Nodes, Servers, Partitions etc.). 

  • Account permissions – To see a specific customer and to be able to perform specific actions for this account (related to partitions or integration instances).

See a complete list of permissions.

Where to Set Permissions

If you are a global administrator, you can use the following sections in regards to permissions setup:

  • In Administration:

    • Users – For each user you can set both global and account permissions.
      You can assign the global permissions also by adding the user to a user group. 

    • User Groups – For each group you can set global permissions.

  • In Marketplace:

If you are an account administrator, you have the following options for permissions setup:

  • Account User Rights – Here you can set the account permissions for users / user groups related to the account (its partitions and integrations instances). 
    To make this task easier, you can use:

    • Asset groups (predefined set of partitions and integrations instances of the given account)

    • Business roles (predefined set of account permissions)

 Assignment of some permissions can be subject to approval workflow. For details see Workflows Tab.
