Within any given directory, you can choose the groups and roles to which each user belongs. Note that a user's group membership is particularly important, as groups are often used to control access to applications. On this page: Error formatting macro: toc: java.lang.NullPointerException
Changing a User's Group MembershipTo add a user to a group,
The user will now be authorised to use any applications that use this group to control access. To remove a user from a group,
The user will now be unable to log in to any applications that use this group to control access. Screenshot: 'User — Groups'
Multiple DirectoriesIf the same username exists in more than one directory assigned to an application, Crowd treats these usernames as the same user. Crowd searches all the assigned directories for the user, and amalgamates the group and role memberships. For example, let's assume you have a user 'jsmith' who exists in both directories 'Customers' and 'Partners', and is a member of group 'G1' in 'Customers' and 'G2' in 'Partners'. Crowd will grant access to the user based on membership of both 'G1' and 'G2'. RolesThe adding or removing of a user to or from a role is performed via the Role Browser, but is otherwise identical to the process for groups. RELATED TOPICS
