User Configuration

Use the User Configuration tile of Syntelate Studio to manage users and roles.

What’s a User?

A user is an account that you can use to log in to Syntelate Studio. A user can be active or dormant (dormant users cannot log in).

What’s a Role?

You assign a role (or roles) to a user to give them access to the tiles in Syntelate Studio.

Roles work in conjunction with Tile Security:

• User Configuration: Use this tile to add roles and assign them to users.
• Tile Security: Use this tile to define a role’s Access level to each tile. There are three Access levels: Full Access, Read Only, and No Access.

Say you assign two roles to a user, and those roles have clashing Access levels for a tile. When this happens, the user is granted the higher Access level.

Configure Users vs Configure Roles

From the tile’s home page (the Configuration Options page), you have two options:

• Configure Users: Click to view the Create or Edit Users page.
• Configure Roles: Click to view the Create or Edit Roles page.

The Super User

Syntelate Studio offers a powerful user account known as the super user. You’ll have been provided with the log-in details for this account when Syntelate Studio was installed. As the name implies, a super user has the highest level of user permissions.

With a new Syntelate Studio installation, one of the first things that you should do is log in as the super user and then add the other users that you’ll need.

After this, you shouldn’t need to use the super user much. Any user with Full Access to the User Configuration tile can add a new user when required.
