ROLES AND USER ADMINISTRATION – Help Center | SLASCONE

USER MANAGEMENT

SLASCONE uses Azure AD B2C as its identity provider. This provides the following advantages:

You have the flexibility to provide access to your end-customers, i.e., access to SLASCONE’s customer portal.
You have the flexibility to provide access to your resellers, i.e., access to SLASCONE’s reseller portal.
You can integrate (connect) your company’s existing Azure AD to SLASCONE’s Azure AD B2C in order to provide a single sign on experience. More about this process can be found here.

ROLES

The following application roles are available:

Global Administrator: Unrestricted access
Service Administrator: Can not add/edit users
Customer Administrator: Can not add/edit users, products
License Creator: Can not add/edit users, products, customers
Viewer: Read access
None: No access

FIRST USER

A new SLASCONE environment/tenant comes with a built-in system global administrator. Signing in with this user/email enables the invitation of more users.

ONBOARDING

The global admin invites users through their email address, while predefining their application role.

The invited user receives an email with an url link to the registration page. SLASCONE uses Active Directory B2C as its identity provider. Global admins can see the status of the invitations, namely if an invitation has been accepted or not. In addition to that, they can optionally get an email notification upon successful registration of a user.

Global admins can delete/revoke an invitation or change the selected application role.

DELETE

When deleting a user, you can decide whether the user should also be deleted from Azure B2C. This is recommended only if the underlying AD B2C is used for the SLASCONE application only.

If you do not delete the user from Azure B2C, the user is displayed in the 'Unassigned' tab and you can then assign a role to the user again if required.

MULTIPLE ROLES

Starting with SLASCONE 8.0, the same identity (email) can have multiple roles and easily switch between them. This is particularly helpful for development purposes, eliminating the need for multiple identities.
