Managing Users and Authorizations

 

All users in YaPlm need a user login to access the system. The authorization in YaPlm is built up on a hierarchy based on Roles and Groups.

 

A Role is a collection of people who have common job tasks in the system: Creator, Viewer, Tester, Approver and so on.

 

A Group is a collection of people who work on a common project, have a common history or share a common set of functional skills. In a Group, users may act in different roles. For example, a Creator group might include engineering and designer users, or the role 'Process Approvers' who will be approving objects in a Process.
