Users

The Users page displays a list of current Altair SLC Hub users.

The page can be used to create new user profiles by clicking the New button. Existing user profile can be modified by clicking the displayed name. This opens the the Edit User pages. Clicking the more (...) button at the end of the user profile row enables the profile to be deleted, deactivated or duplicated. The more menu also enables replacement password can be sent via email for the user.

You can filter the user profiles listed based on profile name. To sort the list of user profiles, click the Up or Down arrow on any of the displayed columns.

Creating a user

A user profile can be created either by invitation or immediately in the Hub portal.

When a user is created by invitation, the user's email, Hub username and Hub display name are created in the portal. Login credentials are created by the user. Click Send invitation to enable Hub to create the outline profile and send an email enabling the user to create their own login credentials.

When a user is created immediately the email, username and Hub display name are required. In addition a password for the user must be set. The user can, optionally, be required to change their password when they first log in to Hub.

Groups and roles

When the initial profile information has been created, other properties such as information to map the local Hub user to the operating system user can be added through the Edit User pages.

The user profile can be added to existing Hub groups using the Group Membership. This page will show the all the direct (the groups the user profile has been added to) memberships and indirect groups. If the required group does not exist, a new group can be created through the Groups page.

The Role Bindings tab shows the Hub Roles directly added to the user profile. This tab does not display roles associated with the groups to which the user profile has been added.

The set of permissions a user has is the union of the permissions associated with any roles directly assigned to the user and the roles associated with any groups the user is a member of, directly or indirectly. The Access Control Test page can be used to test these permissions.
