Portal user management

User Management creates and manages portal users. Portal users are identified by username, password, and role and allowed to access your Privacera account.

Portal users are assigned a Role. Each Role establishes a set of permissions.

Role

ROLE_USER

Portal users are not the same as data access users who are consumers of information stored in the data repositories.

Data access users are managed in Users, groups, and roles.

Your account is created with a single ROLE_ACCOUNT_ADMIN role user with registered user's username and password, referred to as the Account Admin. The Account Admin (and any User with the role ROLE_ACCOUNT_ADMIN) can create additional portal users.
