Only a user with Administrator type profile has management rights. In particular, he/she is the only user who can modify user characteristics.

Person group management involves the following concepts:

• users

A user is a person with a login.

• persons

A person is defined by his/her name and e-mail.

• person groups

(Web Front-End specific) A person group groups persons in a group. These persons share the same connection characteristics.

• 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 the tools, and how the person sees the tools and can use them. The profile defines options, access rights to repositories and products, read/write and read-only rights on objects.

• 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)
