Users

Users and User Groups are the basis of authentication and authorization forToolpack 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 list of authorized actions applied to each item on the left-hand Toolpack Web Portal menu (resources).

There are 3 authorization levels per resource:

 Read/Write
   Full access to the resource.
 Read
   Only view 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 User needs 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 User in this group gets access to all the resource in the Web Portal.
