This chapter introduces the Advance Users, or Administrators, to create user, groups, roles and permissions: § User Management Interface § Group Management Interface § Role Management Interface § Permission Management Interface |
A “User” is someone who accesses 4G:PLM. All activities in 4G:PLM must occur in the context of a user. Each user has rights that allow him to perform certain actions. Also, the user name is recorded for purposes of auditing in a number of locations.
The Administrator should be able to modify users. Among other things, the user MUST have a password, and various information, such as name, e-mail and phone number, should be available.
The Manage Users interface provides users to manage user accounts.

I. Go to “Admin” on the menu bar
