| Managing Users | |
To set permissions for each account in IBM Aspera Faspex on Demand, first navigate to Accounts where you will see a list of existing users. Click the name of the account you want to change permissions for and choose the desired Role. The following describes each role:
Administrators can access the Server tab to configure the Faspex server. They can create, edit, and delete every type of Faspex user (administrators, managers, and regular users), and they can send packages (perform file transfers). Administrators can also manage workgroups (create/edit/delete).
The manager role enables Faspex server administration to be separate from Faspex user accounts administration. Managers can send packages, create/edit/delete workgroups, and create/edit/delete other managers and regular users. They can promote regular users to managers, and demote other Managers to regular users. However, they cannot, edit administrator accounts or promote another user to administrator. Managers do not have access to the Server tab, nor can they change the Faspex server configuration (a privilege limited to administrators).
Regular users can send packages through Faspex. They typically do not manage other users or workgroups.
The workgroup administrator role is assigned and managed under the Workgroup view, not from the Accounts view. For details, see Working with Workgroups. A user can be designated as a "workgroup administrator" (by a Faspex administrator or manager). Workgroup administrators manage specific workgroups according to the permissions set for that role in that workgroup.
