User and Groups - 4.0.0.0

You can create any number of users in Metus MAM and you can provide them different privileges even on the level of project , bins and assets. Groups are added for convenience to gather several people

f.e. from one department. Usually, in one group you cluster the people supposed to have equal rights. Thus, you apply permissions not for each one of them (one-by-one), but directly to the entire group.

The project manager can create users and groups, and give them rights for reading, adding, editing, deletion and requests in the project. If there is a domain structure, the users can also be imported to the

project from the Active Directory too. Thus, the security is completed in accordance with the rights granted to users and groups. This window is accessed by selecting Users and Groups from Project

Menu.

There is a hierarchic security structure in Metus MAM.

1.Adding a User

When you click to Add button at the picture above , the following window appears. Than you can fill the informations about users.

The dialog for defining a new user is very simple and user-friendly. The fields are self-explanatory. In the Groups field you will see a list of all the groups, created for the current project. The one you check is

the group to which you make the user belong. Further on, if the Administrator applies some rights to the entire group, all the people , belonging to it, will automatically obtain the same rights.

2.Deleting a User 

You can delete a user from selecting the user from the list and click to the Remove button.

3.User Properties

Invokes the dialog with the user’s settings applied during adding him. Select the user from the users list and click on the Properties button.

4.Export / Import User List

You can save the users list you created in .xml format by pressing the Export button. You can import this list in other projects you created by pressing the Import button there.

5.Adding Users From Active Directory

If you work on a domain, you can add your users in Active Directory to Metus MAM. For this, click the Add from Active Dir button below in the Users and Groups window. In the User field type the name(s)

of user(s) you want to add from active directory and click the Search button. When you find the user you want to add , mark his name and press the Add button. Finish the procedure with the OK button.

6.Adding a Group

After creating the user list, the Administrator can create groups and gather the users into them. When equal rights are given to more than one user, those users are usually added to a group and the rights

are applied to the group, totally. Thus, the procedure is simplified by giving rights to groups rather than users individually. Groups creation is similar to the users one. Just select the second tab – for the

groups.

7.Deleting Groups

For deletion, select the group and then the Remove button.

8.Group Properties

The group’s summary is seen from the Properties button. You can change the name of the group and you can change the users of that group, also.
