3. User Management

AutoStub has three pre-defined user roles: Super Admin, Admin and User. The landing page of each AutoStub user will vary based on the user role logged in. Based on the user’s role some features of AutoStub may be restricted/granted to the user.

Super Admin

Super Admin is the super user who has access to many administrative tasks of AutoStub. The Super Admin’s credentials are pre-defined. The primary task of the Super Admin is to create accounts and admins. Super Admin can create multiple accounts and assign an Admin to each account. They can view the list of the accounts created by them, and also modify the account details. Accounts created by Super Admin can also be deleted by them. For a Super Admin, all application capabilities are provided by default.

Note

The Super Admin cannot create mocks, only admins and users can.

As a Super Admin, you will see the Super Admin Dashboard displayed upon successful authentication.

Fig. 3.1 Super Admin Dashboard

Admin

Super Admin creates Admins, and then assigns them to accounts. By default, all application capabilities are assigned to Admins.

An Admin can:

• Create/delete users.
• Create other Admins.
• Create/modify/delete roles.
• Assign roles to users.
• Create/modify/delete groups.
• Assign users to groups.
• Create mocks.
• Assign application capabilities to users.
• Assign application capabilities to a role.
• View/update/remove application capabilities assigned to users.

As an Admin, when you sign in to AutoStub application, your Dashboard will be displayed as shown below.

Fig. 3.2 Admin Dashboard

An Admin is basically a User who also has Admin rights apart from creating mocks. Hence an Admin can log into AutoStub as both Admin and User. Based on the privileges assigned to the User, they can view different features available on the dashboard.

User

Users are created by Admins. Admins can assign roles, groups and specific application capabilities to Users. User behavior is a result of the application roles assigned to him. A user can behave as an admin if he has been assigned such application capabilities.

As a User, when you sign in to AutoStub application, you will see the dashboard as shown below.

Fig. 3.3 User Dashboard

Note

A User can also be assigned Admin privileges. In such cases, that User can log into AutoStub as both Admin and User. When that User logs in as Admin, they will see the Admin Dashboard. If they log in as User, the User Dashboard will be displayed to them.
