Manage User Groups
Groups are used to grant permissions to users for specific actions in Presto. If you are using the default Presto User Repository, Presto administrators add and manage user groups in the Admin Console. If you have configured Presto to use your LDAP Directory as the User Repository, you define and manage user groups in your LDAP Directory.
User groups contain of a set of users. Groups also have one or more permissions assigned.
Built-in Prestogroups have a set of permissions predefined that allow users to work in the
Presto Hub and the
AppDepot with
one exception: the permission to run mashable information sources, mashups and apps is assigned by
user-defined groups. See
Built-In
Presto
User Groups and Permissions for details.
Note: | Presto administrators and artifact owners automatically have permission to run all artifacts or the artifacts they own repsectively. |
User-defined groups are groups that administrators add to
Presto. These groups are used to grant run permissions to group members for the specific artifacts that the group has been added to.
Presto administrators can also automatically grant run permissions to groups to run all apps, all mashups, all mashables or any combination. See
Automatically Grant Run Permissions to Users and Groups for information.
