第1章 User and group management

Business Central defines three types of entities for security management: users, groups, and roles. You can assign permissions to both roles and groups. You can assign the following roles in Business Central:

  • process-admin
  • manager
  • admin
  • analyst
  • developer
  • user
注記

User roles in the application Role Registry have a role identifier, whereas user groups do not.

Use Business Central to create and manage as many users and groups as you require. A user must be assigned to at least one user-specific role to log in to Business Central. User privileges depend on permissions from the groups and roles that the user is a member of. Note that the role or group priority is considered if a user has several roles or groups assigned to it.

1.1. Creating users

User privileges and settings are controlled by the roles assigned to a user and the groups that a user belongs to. You can create any number of users in Business Central.

注記

Do not create a user called unknown in process engine or Decision Server. The unknown user account is a reserved system name with superuser access. The unknown user account performs tasks related to the SLA violation listener when there are no users logged in.
