1125 - Managing user access to the Storage Platform Console

There are two types of Access Users of the Storage Platform Console: Classic Users and Tenant Users.

With Classic Users, Console access credentials (username and password) are issued and managed by Redstor.

With Tenant Users, the customer organisation functions as a Redstor "tenant" and Console access credentials are issued and managed internally by the customer. They may also choose to manage user access to the Console through an Identity Management System (IMS) such as Microsoft Active Directory or Google.

It is possible to have both Tenant and Classic Users configured for Collections.

Note: User access must be configured before Group access.
