User management in PMM¶
User management controls who can access PMM and what actions they can perform. Every user who logs into PMM has a specific role assigned, which determines their permissions.
User management defines who can access PMM and what actions they are allowed to perform: - Users: Individual accounts that can log in to PMM with unique credentials.
-
Roles: Predefined permission sets that determine what users can do. The Admin role, for example, allows creating and deleting user profiles, while other roles may have more limited permissions.
-
Permissions: Specific actions or tasks that a role authorizes. Permissions are role-based—users inherit all permissions associated with their assigned role.
User management tasks¶
This section covers the following user management operations:
- Add users: Create new user accounts and assign roles
- Edit users: Modify user profiles and change assigned roles
- Delete users: Remove user accounts from the system
Note
Only users with the Admin role can perform user management tasks.
Understanding roles and permissions¶
User capabilities depend entirely on the role assigned to them. For a comprehensive overview of available roles and their associated permissions, see Access control in PMM.
