Overview

Users and User Groups are assigned to Data Groups in order to grant access to the data sources that are added to the platform.  Data Sources must be associated with a Data Group at source creation time.

About Role-Based User Management

Information Security Analytics uses a role-based user management mechanism.  On installation, the system creates one default user, Information Security Analytics Administrator.  Also, when new users are added to the system they can be assigned the "admin" permissions.  The admin role has access to the screens of the Information Security Analytics interface and can perform all Actions.  There is also the concept of the "Owner" permission that applies to Projects, and Data Groups. 

For more information about roles and access to resources, see User Management.
