Defining Users for a VSC Blueprint

See the following topics for information about defining roles:

Setting Up and Managing Users

The Users window lists all users that are available for use with Barracuda RMM.

The following information is presented for each user:

If an attempt is made to access an area of Service Center that is not permitted by the roles of which a user is a member, a warning message appears notifying the user that they are not authorized to view that page.

For more information about users in Barracuda RMM, see Managing Users.

Managing Users

Users define the logon name and password for individuals requiring access to the Service Center website, and their personal information. Users are additionally provided with Object Access permissions to define which sites, groups, devices and websites may be accessed. Each user must also be a member of at least one role.

Coupled with the Permissions security defined in the role, users comprise the Barracuda RMM security model.

When a user is a member of more than one role with different access permissions, the least restrictive security settings will apply.
