Principal Types

From Informer 4 Wiki

You define Informer permissions to specific principals. Principals can be created in Informer or imported from network LDAP repositories. There are five types of Informer Principals:

• User : a principal with an associated Informer username and password. A user principal is a specific Informer user. You can assign permissions directly to a user, or indirectly by assigning permissions to one of their associated groups.

• Group : a principal containing a collection of user principals. Assigning permissions to an Informer Group indirectly assigns permissions to all of the groups’ members.

• Informer Administrator : the only principal shipped with Informer, with username: administrator and no password. The Informer Administrator principal has global access to all Informer features. You cannot modify the security privileges of the Informer Administrator. There is only one Informer Administrator account.

• Everyone : an implicit principal used for assigning global permission defaults.

• Owner : an implicit principal always assigned to the user responsible for creating the associated Informer object (report, mapping, etc.)
