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.

Basically there are two types of user account management.

1) An existing user can manage it's own user account.

2) Every domain needs to have at least one domain admin who can manage the domian.

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:

Join Only

The Join Only account type is the account type with the lowest access level. When using this type, the user can only join, or be invited to a session. Within the domain at least one Host Session account type must be available, to be able to host sessions where Join Only accounts can be joined to. The user can only perform a minimum of actions, such as:

Run the hardware benchmark test
Call up online support resources, such as the Wiki
Read the Legal Notices
Log out of the Tygron Web Application

Host Session

The Host Session account is used for hosting and joining sessions for multiple users. With this account type a user can select, besides the same options as the Join Only account, to host a new or previously saved single or multiplayer session. Also the account settings can be managed, such as the password, name and phone number. This is the most common account for the general purpose of participating in multiplayer sessions.

With this account type users can:

Run the hardware benchmark test
Call up online support resources, such as the Wiki
Read the Legal Notices
Change user account details (name, family name & password)
Log out of the Tygron Web Application
Start a session in Single Player mode
Host a new or already saved multiplayer session
Join an already active multiplayer session (hosted by someone else)

Editor

This account type has the same options available as the Host Session account type. This account type can also create new projects, edit existing projects, or join others within the same domain, in an editing session.

With this account type users can:

Run the hardware benchmark test
Call up online support resources, such as the Wiki
Read the Legal Notices
Change user account details (name, family name & password)
Log out of the Tygron Web Application
Start a session in Single Player mode
Host a new or already saved multiplayer session
Join an already active multiplayer session (hosted by someone else)
Create a new or edit an already saved project
Join an already active editor session with another user within the same domain

Domain Admin

The Domain Admin account has the highest access level available to end users of the Tygron Engine. This account has all the perks of the Editor account plus the options to manage all the users in the domain, manage the available projects within the domain, manage the active sessions within the domain and the license for the domain. If no domain admin account is available within a domain, this role is being taken care of by Tygron Customer Support.

With this account type users can:

Run the hardware benchmark test
Call up online support resources, such as the Wiki
Read the Legal Notices
Change user account details (name, family name & password)
Log out of the Tygron Web Application
Start a session in Single Player mode
Host a new or already saved multiplayer session
Join an already active multiplayer session (hosted by someone else)
Create a new or edit an already saved project
Join an already active editor session with another user within the same domain
Create or change users within the domain
Manage the projects within a domain
Manage active sessions within a domain
Change the license of the domain

Access level	Description	Available options in main menu
JOIN_ONLY	This account can only join, or be invited to a hosted session	Join only
HOST_SESSION	This account can start and join single & multiplayer sessions, including the inviting of other users
EDITOR	This account type can, besides hosting and participating in sessions, create and edit its own projects
DOMAIN_ADMIN	This account is the highest access level available. With this account you can also manage other accounts from your user domain.

Domain

User accounts are grouped under a "domain" (=user group). This is a convenient manner to ensure that users from a certain group can only access the projects assigned to their domain. This to avoid competitors to be able to sea each others projects for example, or to avoid caustic behavior such as editing or deleting projects from other user domains. Using Permissions you can decide which user is allowed to edit a project or host a session of it.

Please note that the licensing is also linked to the domain; a domain receives a license, not the users individually!

Tygron Support will only be able to access your project(s) after you give Tygron Support access rights! This to even better ensure the confidentiality and proprietary data of your project(s).

Domain license types

A domain is licensed for using the Tygron Engine. This means that there is a limit on projects per domain, not a limit on the amount of users or projects per user. Licenses divided over different classes and types of licensing. A domain receives, for starters, an Educational or Non-Educational class license. The Educational class is dedicated to educational users, such as educational institutions and students. The Educational license has a standard of ten projects available. Non-Educational class licenses are for commercial parties, without educational purposes. In the commercial class the number of projects per domain can differ based on the number of paid licenses.

These different types of domian licenses are available:

License Type	Functionality	Load new projects	Save projects	Save Impact sessions
`3 month free`	Basic	10	3	0
`Bronze`	Basic	15	3	3 months
`Silver`	Basic	50	10	12 months
`Gold`	Basic	250	50	12 months

Advanced License

The advanced license is available for customers who make use of custom features and always tailored specifically to the customer. This license is only available on the basis of close cooperation. For more information about licenses please contact license@tygron.com
