This topic is for PhixFlow administrators who need to manage user accounts and privileges in PhixFlow. It provides links to all the pages related to configuring and managing users and their accounts.To configure user access to PhixFlow, configure PhixFlow's own authentication and authorisation system. This includes user accounts, user groups, roles and privileges; see Managing the User List.
Users who belong to the Administrators user group can create, delete or update another users' account, user group and privileges.
Optionally, you can also integrate PhixFlow with your existing authentication system using:
- Active Directory
- SAML.
In this case, you must create PhixFlow user accounts that have the same usernames that are present in your existing system.
You can also use your existing system to manage the user authorisation to the items and data in PhixFlow. In PhixFlow you must add the users to user groups. You can then map the PhixFlow user groups to Active Directory Groups; see Configure Active Directory Integration.
To see a list of all the PhixFlow users, expand the Full Repository → Users. Users can request new passwords; see Password Reset.Making changes that affect users requires User Administration privileges. However, you can optionally provide the following privileges to users who do not have the User Administration privilege.
| Privilege | Allows a user to |
|---|---|
| Create User | Add a new user account |
| Modify User | Make changes to a user account |
| Delete User | Delete an existing user account |
| Add and Remove Own User Groups | Add their own user account to a user group, or to remove it. |
| Add and Remove Users from User Groups | Add other user accounts to a user group. (In versions 8.1 and earlier, this privilege also allowed a user to add their own account to other user groups.) |
