Users and User Groups

As a system administrator, you create Users and assign them rights and privileges.

When you first log on into the Automic Web Interface, you do so on Client 0. Here you create the first User of any other Client and then move it to the target Client. That first User of a Client can then continue creating Users on that Client. Users created on any Client are automatically also visible in Client 0.

When creating Users you can also define their rights and privileges. You can also group users that have the same roles and who, therefore, work with the same objects and need the same access rights, into User Groups. This is as more efficient way of managing your users because you can create User Groups, define their rights and privileges and assign them Users instead of doing it for every User. Defining and assigning User Catalogs to your users can make your work much easier.

Note: You need to create both Users that you can then assign to a User Group and User Groups to be able to group these users. Which one you create first is up to you.

For the purposes of this Getting Started, you do not have to create User Groups.
