User Management
By default, ADMIN is the only built-in Administrator user in XLServer.
This user should be reserved for administrative tasks only.
For day-to-day operations and managing project-specific objects, it is strongly recommended to create dedicated standard users for each team.
User Types
In XLServer, there are two types of users:
-
Administrator Users
- Have unrestricted access to all features and objects in XLServer.
- No privileges assignment is required.
-
Standard Users
- Work with permissions.
- Permissions can be either system privileges or project-based privileges.
System Privileges
System privileges give users the ability to execute platform-wide administrative tasks.
Privilege Name | Privilege Description |
---|---|
CREATE_ENVIRONMENT | Create Environment |
CREATE_USER | Create User |
MANAGE_ANY_USER | Manage Any User |
CREATE_PROJECT | Create Project |
