User Account management
- User management is the process that focuses on the administration of users of IT and information systems. This process manages the registration of users and the authorisation of their roles within a system. Authorised access is secured with a user specific login name and password.
- User Management can control, for example:
- The projects a user can access
- Whether access to that project is read-only
- If a user can update his credentials (login, password)
- If a user can update relevant project data
- If a user can host or join a session with other users
Different account types in the Tygron Web Application
- The Tygron Web Application uses account management to enable user access to their proper projects, and with the required rights to perform the actions desired. To ensure that users have access to their assigned projects, and their assigned projects only, users are grouped in so called user domain groups (="domain"). Within a domain, users can have different roles, or account types, assigned. These types or roles determine the actions a user can perform within his domain. These different account types are described below:
Invite Only
Single Player
Multiplayer
Editor
Group Admin
