Commandline: security

 

Explanation

Administrators can manage users, groups and permissions. If WireCAD Security is enabled (see related topics). The person that enabled the Security option is the Administrator (the Great and Powerful Oz). All other users will be added automatically to the Users (mere mortals) group. Oz may:

Change the group to which the user belongs.

Create new groups.

Modified group permissions.

Create other Ozes.

 

So to be clear. Users belong to Groups. Groups have Permissions.

 

NOTE: No action is required to add a user. They simply need to open WireCAD. If their user profile does not yet exist in the WireCAD Security database it will be add to the Users group.

NOTE: Oz can proactively add users by searching the Active Directory and adding the user to the group of his choosing.
