Configuring Users and Groups

After you have configured application settings, you can configure HCL Discover user and group settings. To review the HCL Discover users who are currently logged in, click the Current Users link in the left navigation pane of the Portal Management page. See "User Administration" in the HCL Discover Administration Manual.

For HCL Discover users, permissions are defined as the superset of all permissions for groups of which they are members. The group level settings for HCL Discover users are inherited from the user's primary group. When defining permissions for HCL Discover users, you should first assign them at the group level and then make adjustments for individual users. When HCL Discover is installed, two user groups are automatically created:

  • Admin Group - HCL Discover administrators.
    • ADMIN - default HCL Discover administrator account.
  • Portal User - HCL Discover users.
    • No default Portal user account is created.
