Users

Overview

AP provides user and user group management.

Consult the Sharing section regarding object level access control.

Permissions

The authorization model in AP is based on granting user accounts individual permissions to perform actions in the platform.

Most permissions follow a View and Manage model.

• View means the ability to view information about objects of a specific entity.
• Manage means the ability to create new objects, edit existing objects and remove objects of a specific entity. The Manage permission includes the View permission, in other words, if a user is granted Manage, the user is implicitly granted View permission.

The following permissions are supported.
