Users and Groups

Login access to TACTIC is controlled by a user login system. In TACTIC, users can also be assigned to groups, which are used to apply various access rules.

Note

ActiveDirectory/LDAP can be used as the authentication method. Please refer to the index for those instructions.

User logins are tracked, as well as what transactions they executed. This information allows for accountability throughout the system for all users (i.e. "who did what and when").

To manage and insert users, open the Users view under Admin View→Site Admin→Users.
