  - Roles and permissions
    A number of roles are defined in the product that can be assigned to a user or group. Roles set boundaries on activities that a user or group member can perform.
  - Managing users and authentications
    Use User authorization and User authentication to manage users and authentication.
  - Managing user groups
    You can combine users into groups. When you grant permissions to the group, you simultaneously grant them to the group members. When you assign a group to a team, all group members are simultaneously assigned to the team.
  - Managing teams
    To prepare a team, you create the team and then add users or user groups to it. After you add users, you assign permissions to them.
  - Managing user permissions
    Permissions define the scope of user actions. Administrators assign users to roles when they are added to teams. Users inherit the permissions to the role. Users can have different permissions for different teams.
  - Managing HCL™ Launch teams
    When an HCL™ Launch team is imported, in addition to the roster of team members, all applications that are managed by the team are also imported. Imported applications can be used in any deployment that is managed by the team.
