Managing users
This document explains the core concepts of user management in the Stonal platform. Understanding these concepts is crucial for effectively managing user access and permissions.
Concepts
Groups
Groups are used to group users together and assign them permissions in bulk. Smart doc also uses groups to control access to documents.
They are assigned to users via the groupUids field.
Profiles
Profiles represent a functional scope within the system. They are primarily used for informational purposes and provide a high-level categorization of users.
Some applications will use profiles to control access rights, like Keep and Model for example.
They are assigned to users via the permissions.uid field.
Application Groups
Authorization models are the primary mechanism for defining the set of applications that a user can access.
They are assigned to users via the permissions.uid field.
The document storage application access is granted via the stonal.application.platform application.
If a given application group contains the stonal.application.platform application and document storage is enabled on your organization, users assigned to this application group will be able to access the document storage application.
Assets
Permissions provide fine-grained control over what specific resources and actions a user can access within the system.
