Users and roles

Manage user authorizations and integrate with external user and role definitions in LDAP

Summary

Users and their roles can be defined within SmartSpace or imported from external systems via LDAP.

SmartSpace roles control which parts of the web interface can be accessed by a user, and the maps, reports and other screens available to them. It also determines which users should receive notifications, emails and alerts generated through the Business rules engine.

This allows the application experience to be tailored to meet the needs of specific classes of end user.

The SmartSpace configuration client includes a workspace for defining roles and assigning users to them. In addition SmartSpace provides a browser-based view of the underlying users and roles model, giving system administrators simple access for editing or extending the underlying user and group allocations.
