Manage Access

Create and manage user and group accounts.

User accounts and user groups define user roles, which define levels of access, or access privileges to functions in vault. Anyone who uses and interacts with vault must have a user account, and only an authenticated (i.e. logged-in) administrator can add or edit user or group access to vault.

Users

Select the Users tab in the User and Group Management dialog box to create and manage user accounts.

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.

• The Users tab lists the user profiles. Click New to create a new user profile or double-click the profile to edit the existing user profile.

Note: Windows Authentication is available in Autodesk Vault Professional.

Groups

Select the Groups tab in the User and Group Management dialog box to create and manage group profile. A group is a collection of users. Groups let you specify permissions for multiple users, which can make it easier to manage the permissions for those users.

• The Groups tab lists the group profiles. Click New to create a new group profile or double-click the profile to edit the existing group profile.
