Access and Permissions Management

User management is a system you can use to determine what permissions
a user will get and for which devices this user will get to execute these
permitted actions. The user management system consists of three core
elements, as defined below.

How do I use user management?

For an overview of StrideLinx user management, please see our User Management video at
https://www.automationdirect.com/VID-CM-0056.
StrideLinx user management allows you to:
• Create your own roles or use our default roles to set-up user management.
• Create your own access categories or use our defaults to set-up user management.
• Create groups or use our default groups.
• Assign new users to roles and groups and manage access of existing users.
• Assign devices to groups and assign services to access categories.

Roles

Every user has to get assigned a role in your company. This role
determines what permissions that user will have in StrideLinx Cloud. You
can configure as many roles as you like yourself, or you can use our default roles. Our default
roles are: platform administrator, engineer and customer. They are the most common roles for
users of StrideLinx Cloud. It is always possible to change or remove a role later.
Edit an existing role
Please follow the steps described below to edit an existing role.
1. Go to the Admin, which is accessible via the Apps menu
your StrideLinx account.
2. Open the main menu
3. Change the role name, if you want.
4. Edit all the permissions you want to give users with this role. The table on the previous
page contains a list of your options. Then click [confirm].

User Management Elements
A role is a selection of permissions. The role of a user will determine what a user can do. This is partly regulated
through permissions for our apps, and partly through permissions to use the pages and services in an access
category. There are admin and device permissions, and you can add access categories.
An access category is a selection of pages and services.
A group is a selection of devices and users. Groups put users and devices together. This determines the
devices for which a user can execute his or her permissions. You can divide groups in different group types.
