Manage Users

To access the Enterprise Glossary, everybody needs a User to log in. Users can be created, imported out of an Active Directory, edited and deleted by accessing Maintain Users.

There are two types of users in the Enterprise Glossary, Authors and Visitors. Authors are able to create, edit and delete entries, while Visitors are only able to access and read the entries.
