*Only a user with Administrator type profile has management rights. In particular, he/she is the only user who can modify user characteristics.
User management in the Administration application involves the following concepts:
• users:
*A user is a person with a login.
• persons
*A person is defined by his/her name and electronic mail address.
• logins
*A Login uniquely defines a user or user group. It can be assigned to only one Person or Person Group.
• profiles
*A profile defines what a person can see or not see and do or not do in tools, and how he/she sees and can do it. The profile defines options, access rights to repositories and products, read/write and read-only rights on objects.
• permissions:
• object UI access
*Object UI access defines user rights on creation, reading, update, and deletion on these objects and their tools. By default, object UI accesses have value *CRUD (C: create, R: read, U: update, D: delete, *: default value).
• general UI access
*General UI access defines if tools are available or not. By default, general UI accesses have value *A (A: Available, *: default value)
