Profiles and Roles

User management

There are two profiles for user management:

The User profile enables

  • the creation of Workspaces;

  • the data management (creation, modification, history, integrity information);

  • the data sharing inside a Workspace;

  • the creation of its own Devices.

The Administrator profile enables

  • the same roles of the User profile;

  • the creation of Users (either with Administrator profile or User profile);

  • the deletion of Users regardless of their profile.

Note

It is not possible to modify the user’s profile: an Administrator will remain an Administrator; a User will remain a User. Therefore, the user must be deleted and then re-created in order to allocate him the new profile.

Device management

Only the user, regardless the profile, can create devices for itself. Devices are clones. The number of devices created by a user is usually small.

When a user is deleted, all the associated devices are deleted. It is not possible to delete a single device.

Management of Workspaces and Documents

There are four roles having different rights in a workspace:

  1. Reader: it has read access.

  2. Contributor: it has read and write access.

  3. Manager: it has read and write access and can also grant roles with the exception of the Owner role.

  4. Owner: it has read and write access and can also grant roles including the Owner role. It can also trigger a complete Workspace re-encryption in case of a prior user deletion (for example following the compromise of a user’s device). A Workspace can have multiple Owners. The Workspace creator has the Owner role by default.
