Maintaining Users With ISW Platform Integration

Download Application Administrator Guide

If your system is configured to be on the ISW Platform, all user maintenance (creating users, editing users, deleting users, and resetting user passwords) is managed by the ISW platform. User authorizations are also limited to the type of user license they have and therefore authorizations cannot be set on a group.

If your system is configured to be on the ISW platform, authorizations set on a group override the user's individual authorizations, and only the group authorizations apply. If the group has no authorizations configured, the user's individual authorizations are used instead. In all cases, authorizations are limited by the user's license.

Note: The following will always be read-only in Application Administrator as it is managed in the ISW platform:

• User Name
• First Name
• Last Name
• Description (Last Name + First Name)
