Creating users, groups, and roles
BMC Helix Innovation Suite includes one out-of-the-box, predefined user named Demo, with administor access and permissions. You can use the User form in a browser to rename this user and create additional users. After you create a user, you can assign the user to certain groups called access control groups. An access control group has permissions that determine whether and how its members can access application components, such as forms, requests, fields, active links, and active link guides.
Users often belong to multiple groups in an organization. They inherit permissions from each of the groups to which they belong.
Access permissions in deployable applications are based on roles. Similar to groups, roles have permissions to access forms, fields, active links, and so on. However, unlike groups, roles are defined for an application and are then associated with groups on the server where the application is deployed.
