Security

The administration has tools that allow the management of the system. The settings can be people management or tool management. For management to be done with greater security control, only two types of users have access to the administration area: the General Administrator and the Local Administrator.

The administration allows users to manage, such as modifying their data, permissions, creation, inactivation, among others. However, the creation of roles and groups is necessary before a user can be created. Next we will look at the steps for creating roles, groups, users, in that order, and managing those users.

Role Settings

Roles are used to define responsible for activities in the modeling of workflows, as well as to apply security rules to users from different groups, grouping them under the same set.
