    Groups

    Group is an abstract set of users, which gives assigned users some permissions. So it is not necessary to specify permissions for each single user.

    There are independent levels of permissions implemented in CloverDX Server

    Table 21.4. Default groups created during installation

    Group nameDescription
    admins This group has an operation permission all assigned, which means, that it has unlimited permission. Default user clover is assigned to this group, which makes him administrator.
    all users By default, every single CloverDX user is assigned to this group. It is possible to remove a user from this group, but it is not a recommended approach. This group is useful for some permissions to sandbox or some operation, which you would like to make accessible for all users without exceptions.

    Users Assignment

    Relation between users and groups is N:M. Thus in the same way, how groups are assignable to users, users are assignable to groups.

    Groups permissions

    Groups permissions are structured as a tree, where permissions are inherited from the root to leafs. Thus if some permission (tree node) is enabled (blue dot), all permissions in sub tree are automatically enabled (white dot). Permissions with red cross are disabled.

    Thus for the admin group just the all permission is assigned, every single permission in the sub tree is assigned automatically.

    With none of the following privileges, a user can: log into the Server console, create a server project (in Designer) from its own sandbox, create a file in its own existing sandbox, and run graphs.
