User management consists of three major tasks:

  1. Adding and removing user accounts
  2. Assigning groups/roles to users
  3. Managing user groups

Studio security can be configured in three different ways: NTLM, NTLM-custom or Custom. Read Security and user management for detailed information on Studio security configuration. Whether the first two tasks are performed in Studio depends on the chosen Studio configuration.

Managing user groups is always done in the Studio, since the groups are a collection of Studio rights. Rights are available on relevant levels and can be granted or denied at any of these levels.

The table below gives an overview of the available rights per level.

Managing groups

To manage a user group:

  1. Switch to the Groups view by selecting Groups in the lower left corner of the User management screen.
  2. Click the New button in the ribbon to create a new group or select an existing group from the left window pane and choose delete or edit from the ribbon.

To set group rights:

  1. Create a new group or open a group for editing.

  1. Enter a name for the group. The name has a maximum of 100 characters and cannot contain spaces.
  2. Set rights to Granted or Denied for the appropriate rights and levels. If you wish to grant maximum rights to a user select the Administrator checkbox under the group name. This will automatically grant the user all possible rights.
  3. Click Save.

Select the name of a right to get a short description of the right at the bottom of the window.

User rights that you set on a higher level will be inherited on all child levels. You can overwrite these inherited rights at a lower level. If you set or overwright a user right at a specific level it will be displayed in boldface.

This inheritance mechanism allows you to grant access on a generic level and deny it for specific instances on a more specific level.

Example

You could grant a user repository access on the generic level. But then deny the rights for one specific repository. Denying access on generic level and granting access at repository level for all but that one specific repository will give the same result, but is probably more work to maintain.

Project and module specific access

Setting user rights for specific projects, modules or module types is not available on the user management window. These rights are set in the branch for which they apply.

    Mind that only users with Admin rights can add users to a group.
