Users, Groups, Roles, and Permissions in CentraSite
Users identify individuals that are known to CentraSite. The roles and permissions that are assigned to users specify which operations they can perform and which registry objects they can access.
A group describes a set of CentraSite users. The group always belongs to exactly one organization, but it can contain users from different organizations. Groups are visible to all users.
In CentraSite, access control is enabled through a system of permissions and roles. The roles to which you belong and the permissions they include dictate what portions of the CentraSite user interface you see, what objects you can work with, and what operations you can perform.
A
