Users, Groups, and Roles

This section introduces how to create and configure users, groups, and roles in OMi.

You can define roles and permissions and create users and groups to provide access to the features for specialist operators. In order to reduce the effort and complexity involved in configuring roles for individual users in OMi, permissions are granted only through roles.

You can specify roles either by assigning them to a group (so that all members of the group are assigned the same roles) or by assigning roles to a user directly. The user and group configuration depends on the functions the user or group of users fulfill, as well as the tasks that they perform. To reduce the effort of creating similar users, groups, and roles, you can duplicate already existing ones.

For a suggested workflow and overview of the steps involved in setting up users, groups, and roles, see Best Practices.

For a step-by-step description of the tasks you can perform through Users, Groups, and Roles, see Tasks.

Tasks related to user management can also be performed using the opr-user command-line tool. For more information, see opr-user Command-Line Interface.
