Creating users

Creating users

Creating users is key to get people started with Timetable. There are different types of users which are covered throughout this document. Users can be created through the global or admin administration UI and via the Swagger interface.

Global user

Introduction

A global user is a user that has full control over all tenants, apps, users and their configuration. Global users are completely separate from tenant users and can only authenticate through local authentication. A global user that wants to use timetable as a consumer will need a separate account on an application.

Tenant user

Introduction

A tenant user is a user that, by default, has no control over any of the configurable aspects of the tenant or app they are on and can not manage any users on that app. A tenant user can be promoted to a tenant administrator or only given access to certain parts they can edit.
