User Management Glossary
Terms | Description |

Unit | A Unit represents a body of users which belong in the same team, following exactly the same business processes, without differentiating in any way. |
Organizational Unit | Organizational Units are used to organize the company’s network and define the collaboration between them. |

User Management Key Processes and Concepts
Processes / Concept | Description |
---|---|
Creating Users from User Templates | A template within CRM.COM is used in order to reduce manual repetitive work. A user template is used when multiple users with the same characteristics need to be created in the system. All the data that is common between users can be added on a template and only, unique to the user values are left to be completed by the user. |
Users with multiple Units | When creating a user you can assign multiple units to them. Based on Network Management, access to data is controlled based on the Group that a Unit belongs to. Therefore a user within a unit, will have access to the data allowed by the Group his unit belongs to. In order to differentiate access rights of a user based on the unit, on logging in the system, if a user belongs to multiple units then the sign in Unit needs to be selected on log in. |
System Access, Super users & Developers |
|
User Information panel | User information panel, is available via CRM.COM top menu bar. Via this panel you can see the unit and the group of the user, as well as access your user data entry page in order to change user information. If the password needs to be updated, then in this case you will be required to enter both the old and the new password, whereas, if the password change is executed by a super user, the old password will not be required. |
