Users and user groups are the base of the authentication and the authorization on Toolpack systems.

Users

Every person using the Toolpack Web Portal should have their own user. Users are defined by a username and a password.

This facilitates debugging; especially when combined with the use of audit logs and the management of authorization by user groups.

User Groups

User groups define a group of authorized actions on each resources of the Toolpack Web Portal. Resources are defined by their presence in the left menu of the application.

There is 3 authorization levels per resource:

 Read/Write
   Full access to the resource.
 Read
   Only consultation access to the resource. The action commands will be hidden.
 None
   No access to the resource. It won't be displayed in the left menu.

Each users need to be in a user group. To modify a user access to a resource, you need to modify its user group or create a new user group with the required authorization.

The Admin user group is not modifiable and each users in this group get access to all the resource in the Web Portal.
