Overview
Users can be added manually with
Mobile Administrator, but more usually they will be authenticated against an LDAP server (see also
Allowing Access for Users from an LDAP Directory.
Mobile Administrator distinguishes the following types of users:
Local users. You can manually add local users to allow individual users to access
Mobile Administrator and the app store. You can grant separate application-level and site-level permissions for each user.
LDAP users. LDAP users are added automatically to
Mobile Administrator. When you have connected to an LDAP server, a local reference to an LDAP user entry is automatically created on the
All Users page when the user first logs in to
Mobile Administrator. References are also created for any LDAP groups in which the user is a member. The LDAP group memberships are updated every time an LDAP users logs in. The name, password and email address of an LDAP user cannot be changed with
Mobile Administrator. This can only be changed directly in the LDAP directory. However, you can use
Mobile Administrator to grant application-level and site-level permissions for the LDAP users.
To add local users and to manage local and LDAP users, you need the site-level permission Manage Users and Groups.
Note: | If you are a normal user without any administrator rights, you can only change your own user profile via the menu. See also Checking the User Profile. |
