Product Type User Management

This part of the user guide is dedicated to user management within a certain product type as the chapter title suggests.

So, it means that when the user clicks on the “Product Type” tab on the left screen side, a list of product types appears. Then, he/she choose the right product type from the list (where the user right should be adjusted) and click on it. The user's list for certain “Product Type” will appear, and now it is just about to find the right one and change the credentials using the “Edit” button (located in the same line as the user whose rights should be adjusted). Choose the best one from the drop-down menu:

• Not assigned (it is the same as the deactivated user for certain product type)

• Writer (this right will be automatically assigned for the “Product Type” creator)

• Reader

After Clicking on the “Edit” button, a user can manage permission for product type members. He can choose from roles “Writer”, “Reader” or “none”. If a user chooses the “none” option, a product type member will be unassigned from a specific product, in other cases member will get permissions based on a role that will be chosen. By clicking on the button “OK” a user saves new changes for product members.

Product Type Machine Accounts

Machine Accounts can be assigned to “Product Types”. Machines Accounts by default do not have access to any of the “Products”.

Before you can assign a machine account to any “Product Type” this machine account must be “Active” state. How to activate “Machine account” check this chapter here.

To enable Machine Account for a particular “Product Type”, the regular user should go to “Product Type” choose the right product type from the list and click on it. The users list together with “Machine accounts” will appear. Find the right “Machine account” from the list and click on the “Edit” button. There will be two possible options inside the drop-down menu:

• API_Importer

• None (it means that “Machine account” will set access to the default values for certain “Product type” → no access for this “Machine Account” for this certain “Product Type”)
