Users, Groups, and Roles

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

The Global Settings 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.

Access

Select Tools > Administration > Global Settings.
In the Global Settings dialog, select the Security tab.

Users and Groups

User and Group accounts are created and administered in the User and Group Management dialog box. You can create a new user or group profile or edit an existing user or group profile.

Select Tools > Administration > Global Settings >Security tab.
Click Manage Access.

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 data management 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 the Autodesk Vault Professional.

Enforce Password Policy

Enable the Enforce password policy check box for added security. This will help prevent unauthorized access and protect against potential security breaches.

Note: The ability to configure the Password Policy is governed by the same permissions as the Vault settings.

Click Configure to set the password policy settings. A password policy ensures that users create strong and complex passwords, as per the configured parameters. See Configure Password Policy.

Roles and Permissions

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

Select Tools > Administration > Global Settings >Security tab.
Click Manage Roles.
