User and Role Types

CartoPac Users and Roles may consist of either Internal or Windows types. The Authentication Provider determines the type of Users.

• Internal users require Internal Role Types.

• Windows users may use both Internal and Windows Active Directory Group Role Types.

Internal Users and Roles

When using an Internal Authentication Provider, a Login Form Authentication Mode and an Internal Role Type are required:

CartoPac Server access may be directly integrated with Windows credentials so that no Login Form is required. In addition, Windows Active Directory groups as well as Internal Roles may both be used with Windows active directory users.

When using a Windows Authentication Provider, the Windows Active Directory Refresh Group Membership button becomes available on the User Management page:

Windows Active Directory - Refresh Group Membership

After creating a new group, or placing a Windows user in a new Windows Active Directory Group, the Refresh Group Membership button may be used to ensure permissions assigned to the CartoPac User or Role are identified correctly by CartoPac Server.
