Manage user rights

To make it easier to create and manage user accounts you can predefine rights on per user category basis in “user profiles”. Then, instead of specifying for each account which actions the user will be allowed to perform, you will simply need to select the appropriate profile for the user. And if you need to adjust the rights in the profile for a specific user, you customize them for the user (provided that you are allowed to perform this operation).

Also, if you need to edit the rights for a given user category, you simply need to edit the matching profile, and the changes you’ve made will be automatically applied to all the user accounts associated with the profile.

When Nexus is accessible from Nexus Platform, rights management is partly delegated to Runtime.

To access rights management, click on Administration in the Runtime navigation menu, then on the Directory and Rights management tab.

Create a user profile

On Nexus Platform, you have to create a role that contains Nexus application rights.

For more information on Rights management in Runtime, refer to User Manual Runtime > Rights management.

It is possible to add specific rights to users without them being linked to profiles.

Modify user profile

If you edit a user profile that is already used by users, their rights will be modified accordingly. However, rights customized in user accounts will remain unchanged in relation to the profile.

Remove a user profile

If you remove a profile that is used by user accounts, the users will lose all the rights specified in the profile. If you want the users to keep their rights, edit the profile instead of removing it or assign another profile to the users.
