Groups

CloverDX Server > Administration > Users and Groups > 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

permissions to Read/Write/eXecute in sandboxes - The sandbox owner can specify different permissions for different groups. For details, see Sandbox Content Security and Permissions.
permissions to perform some operation - user with an operation permission Permission assignment may assign specific permission to existing groups.
permissions to launch specific service - For details, see Chapter 40, Launch Services, Chapter 41, Data Services.

Table 21.4. Default groups created during installation

Group name	Description
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.

All permissions
The user with this permission has all available permissions. The Admin group has all permissions by default.
- Unlimited access to sandboxes
  Allows the user to perform operations on all sandboxes, even if the sandbox accessibility is not specified explicitly.
  This permission does not include the suspend sandbox permission.
  - Sandboxes
    Allows the user to work with sandboxes. This permission contains all the permissions below. The user can perform operations only on sandboxes owned by himself or on sandboxes with explicitly added access to him, see Chapter 22, Sandboxes - Server Side Job Files.
    List sandbox
    In the Server web interface, it allows the user to list their sandboxes and sandboxes with read permission granted to the user's group.
    In the Server web interface, this permission is necessary to create, edit, or delete sandboxes.
    Within a sandbox with the write access granted, the user can edit or remove files and create or delete directories even without this permission.

    If a sandbox is to be created in web interface, the user must have the list sandbox permission.
