Users, Groups, and Roles

Administrators can grant users access to a vault, create and assign roles, and create user groups.

The Security tab contains options for granting user access to a vault and assigning user permissions. You can also create groups of users as well as assign access privileges and roles to the groups. The roles assigned to a user or group define the permissions of the user or members of the group.

Users

User accounts are created and administered in the User Management dialog box.

A vault server user account can be created automatically when a Windows user that is a member of an Active Directory group with access to the vault server logs into an Autodesk vault client using Windows authentication. This option is on by default.

Note: The server upon which the Autodesk Vault server is installed must support Windows Authentication.

Note: Windows Authentication is available in Autodesk Vault Professional.

Groups

Groups are created and administered in the Groups dialog box.

Roles

Roles are created and administered in the Role Management dialog box. You can view the permissions assigned to a role when you create, copy, or edit a role.
