In User Management, an organisational structure (hierarchy) and user accounts are created.
Identify the information and roles assigned to each user
Users may also be set up in User Management manually and, in the event that integration with AD is available, automatically as well.
A unique name, username and password is defined for each user. User privileges may also be set for a fixed period of time. User privileges may be set as inactive temporarily for the duration of the user's longer absence, for example.
Creating a new account
When you are on the "Users" tab you need to click "Actions" button and select "Create user"
To create a new user, define the user account details on the ‘Basic information’ tab and the user’s rights to different applications on the ‘User roles’ tab.

User’s roles
Each application has a set of predefined default user roles. Each user roles includes one or several actions the role allows the user to perform. One or several user roles may be defined for each user to determine the functions they are allowed to execute in the application.
The user privileges to the Cloudia applications assigned to the user account are selected on the ‘User roles’ tab of the user account concerned.
Click ‘Edit roles’. The ‘Application’ drop-down menu shows the Cloudia applications that have been deployed in your organisation. Select the application to which you want to assign user privileges. Select the role by ticking the box of the desired role.
The default user roles for Cloudia applications are:
User Management
‘User Management administrator’ means that the user may manage the user privileges of the organisation concerned
‘User Management unit level administrator’ means that the user may manage the user privileges of his/her own unit
Cloudia Dashboard
‘Dashboard-admin’ means that the user may manage the desktop header
The ‘Supervisor's desktop view’ shown on the desktop means that the user has access to the supervisor’s view (click for additional information about the view here). (* Additional functionality)

Cloudia Contract (contract management)
