User Groups

A user group allows users who need the same MineMarket domain access and security rights to be grouped together.

You can create user groups to specify the common tasks that the group can do in MineMarket. For example, whether a user can view specific menu items; view a train or shipment in the relevant despatch explorer; or modify or create contracts, vessels or other objects.

If a user group is assigned a domain, the users who are members of the user group will have their access to objects inherited from the domain. The security rights that specify the functionality that can be performed is then restricted or permitted for the user group.

If a user group is configured to have access to the Global Domain, the users within the user group will have access to all objects, but the security rights for the Global Domain can be restricted for that user group.

By default, MineMarket has an Administration user group. The Global Domain is a member of the Administration user group. Any users added to the Administration user group will be able to view all MineMarket objects and perform all MineMarket functions.

If more than one domain is added to a user group, and each user group domain has a different value for a security right (for example, contract maintenance), then preference is given to the optimistic value. This is also the case for the viewing of objects.

Users can create local user groups, but can modify only the local user groups that they created.

Users

Everyone who uses MineMarket must be set up as a user within a user group. The user group to which the user belongs controls what MineMarket functionality that person can access. However, each user can be assigned a translation. For example, a user group may be configured for all traders, but the traders who prefer Spanish can be assigned a Spanish translation.

Depending on the MineMarket database authentication method and how some MineMarket services are configured, the local system account (typically NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) or a named user account may need to be added to the Administration user group.

See Configure the Logon User for each MineMarket Service.
