Users and groups

How a system of users and groups allows different types of access to the Dynamic Workload Console.

In the Dynamic Workload Console you can manage the users to authorize them to the different views to which every role is associated. From the Manage Roles panel you can also create customized roles and share the boards. Users are granted access to resources based on the role to which they have been assigned. The roles in which users are defined or the role assigned to users determines the operations they can perform and which resources are visible to them. This means that depending on your user role designation, you might not see all of the items described in this help system. The groups or predefined roles available are:

API User

Users in this group can use only the Dynamic Workload Console APIs to perform the available actions. Logging to the Dynamic Workload Console through a Web browser would not give them access to any feature. For more details about the Dynamic Workload Console APIs, see
