Users, groups, and organizational units

Users, groups, and organizational units#

sysman sysadmin

Allegra knows two kinds of users:

  • Regular users may do everything in the system that their system role and their workspace roles allow.

  • Guest users see and edit only their own, self-created items.

Users can belong to one organization and to any number of groups. Groups can be used almost everywhere users are assigned — a group can, for example, be entered as the responsible for an item.

Unlike organizational units, groups cannot be structured hierarchically. A user always belongs to exactly one organizational unit.

Hint

To be able to create or edit users, groups and organizational units, you must have been assigned the system role “system administrator” or “system manager” (see System roles & user interface)
