Assign Users to Security User Groups

Article Summary

Each user is assigned to a system-provided SKP user group as part of the new user onboarding process within Syniti Knowledge Platform (SKP). The user accounts can be viewed in the Knowledge Platform on the Users page. Clicking on a user name displays the user group to which the user is assigned. Each user group is assigned a role(s) and each role has features that are included based on the desired security access.

Custom user groups and roles can also be configured and assigned to a user.

Users log into the SKP system and select to access the Construct application where they may be set up by an Administrator for additional Construct security roles specific for the work they are assigned.

The lineation of SKP user groups and roles to Construct Access is as follows:

SKP User Group

SKP Role

Construct Access

Administrator

Administrator

Construct Admin - Full Construct Access

  • Provide access to all pages without restrictions

Author

Author

  • Provide additional access within Construct Security Roles page to be granted access to custom WebApps.

Business Administrator

Business Administrator

WebApp Developer/Designer

  • Provide access to design custom webapps

  • Require additional access within Construct Security Roles page to be granted access to custom WebApps.

Viewer

Viewer

General Access - WebApp User

  • Require additional access within Construct Security Roles page to be granted access to custom WebApps.

Within Construct, users are given access to all WebApp groups that have been assigned to the role as well as all data elements defined in the keys.

To assign users to security roles:

  1. Select Admin > Security > Security Management > Security Roles in the Navigation pane.

  2. From the Security Roles page, click Users for the desired Security Role.

  3. Select the name of the user(s) to be added to the role.

    View the field descriptions for the Role Users page

  4. Click Add Users; a confirmation message displays.

  5. Click Ok.

A second path to assign users to security roles:

  1. Select Admin > Security > Users in the Navigation pane.

  2. From the Users page, click Roles for the desired user.

  3. Select the record(s) for the security role(s) to be added to the user.

  4. Click Assign To Role; once the procedure completes, a check appears in the ASSIGNED check box for each role.

Note

After a non-administrator User Account has been set up in the SKP (i.e. Business Administrator, Viewer, or Author), the user must complete an initial login to Construct before they can be assigned to a Construct Security Role by an administrator. For each new User Account, an email notification will be sent to the user, requesting that they verify their email address and set their password. Once this verification is completed, the user should be able to navigate to the Construct Application.
