User creation and assigning Roles
The platform provides various user roles, so that only authorized users can perform the required tasks. As part of the cfxOIA installation, the platform administrator is created.
This section provides guidelines on how to manage users and assign user roles so that only authorized user can access the relevant functionality of cfxOIA.
cfxOIA allows creation of custom roles and allow access at page level. The following are some of the sample users. The Platform Admin is always the first user created as part of platform provision.
Roles
The following default roles are provided by the platform.
- 1.Project Administrator: A Project administrator administers and configures the projects. The project administrator will have access to 3 core applications of cfxOIA - Ops Intelligence & Analytics, Configuration and Users.
- 2.OIA User - Overall OIA application super user with project administrator access like configuration or user management. Access to OIA application with restrictions at project level.
- 3.IR User - Incident Room User (access to Incident Room functionality only)
- 4.L1 User - Level 1 User
- 5.L2 User - Level 2 User
cfxOIA allows to create either local user or connect and authenticate users with LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).

How to edit Users and Assign / Change Organization.
Once local user is created, the user type is not changeable for example to Remote User.
From Users application view, select user and the context menu allows 'Assign Organizations', 'Edit User' and 'Delete User'. By selecting assign organization, the user can be reassigned to different organization(s) or add to new organization. Edit User allows to edit user details including changing user role and Delete User allows to delete the user.
CloudFabrix do not recommend deleting a user. It should be used with care.
