About User Groups

A user group is created for a specific type of users who will likely perform the same type of activities.

Typically, the following types of users use Operations Hub:
Type of UserDescription
Site administratorThis user creates tenants and tenant administrators using the Site Admin Console application. This user is created automatically when installing Operations Hub. You cannot access, modify, or delete this user from the Designer.
Tenant administratorThis user manages the user accounts of developers and application users. The first tenant administrator is created automatically when installing Operations Hub. You cannot delete this user from the Designer.
DeveloperThis user creates applications using Operations Hub.
Application userThis user accesses applications created using Operations Hub.

A user can belong to more than one user type. For example, a user can be both a developer and an application user.

You can add users in Operations Hub in any of the following ways:

  • Using Operations Hub: You can create developers and application users by accessing the MANAGE section of Operations Hub. For instructions, refer to the Users section of the User Guide.
  • Mapping existing user groups: If you have user groups in an existing User Authentication and Authentication (UAA) instance or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) service, you can map these groups with an Operations Hub UAA group. The users of these groups can then use Operations Hub.
Important: Exercise caution in modifying the membership of a user because it is possible for a user to remove their privileges to access Operations Hub, including the user management section, thus preventing themselves from accessing Operations Hub.
