Article Summary

Introduction

This article describes the user management capabilities in Business Applications for a Turbo360 account with Email authentication.

Add user

Users with the Account owner or Owner role can add new users to Business Applications (hereafter referred to as "module")

  1. Go to User management section in the Business Application module
  2. Click Add user option in the Users tab
  3. Enter the name and email address of the user
  4. Assign a role to the user either directly or at a specified level.
  5. Click Add

An email activation link will be sent to the user's email address, and upon clicking the activation link, the user will be added to Business Applications module.

The activation link is valid for 3 days, after which the account owner/owner has to resend the activation email.

Role assignment

User can be assigned roles in any of the two ways:

1. Direct role assignment
2. Specified access

  • Direct role assignment refers to the assignment of a role to a user, which will be applicable for the entire module. For instance, assigning a direct role like 'Reader' for a user means that the user has complete read access to all the Business Application groups and applications in the module.

  • Specified access refers to assigning different roles on different module-specific areas. For instance, if an organisation has three Business Application groups for its three environments such as Production, Staging, and Development, a user like a contractor cannot be given even 'Reader' access to Production application. In such cases, the user can be assigned Specified access, by choosing only the Business Application groups and/or applications that the user can see, and assign a role for each chosen group/application, which determines what the user can do inside that group/application.

While specifying custom permissions, the permissions are granted hierarchically. This means if a Business Application group is chosen, all its children groups and applications are chosen automatically. The same applies when a role is assigned to the selected Business Application group.

Users who are already added to Turbo360 (i.e members of other Turbo360 modules, or do not have any module-permission) are available to be added from the Existing user tab.

Only users having direct access to a Business Application/Group can be revoked access when viewing from the Business Application/Group's Users widget.

Remove user

Account owners or owners of the module can remove any existing user.

  1. Click the Remove user icon next to the user
    (or)
  2. Remove multiple users by selecting them and clicking the Remove option above the users' list.

User removed from a module still exists in Turbo360's directory. Account owners can remove the users completely from Turbo360 by navigating to Settings -> Users and choosing Remove user option.
