User and Group accounts are managed from the Users Panel in the Quillix Capture Process Manager application.
User Accounts are the means by which an individual's access and permissions are controlled in Quillix Capture. A person's access permissions determine the application functionality that is available to a user in the Process Manager and the Quillix Capture Web Client. Access permissions may be assigned to an individual user account or to a group when using Active Directory Services.
Quillix User
A Quillix User is a user account that is completely managed within Quillix Capture. With this type of user account, a user's logon credentials are stored within Quillix Capture in an encrypted format. Quillix User Accounts are desired when Quillix is hosted by a Service Bureau, or when using Active Directory Services is not an option.
Windows Local User or Group
A Windows Local User or Group account uses the Users and Groups in Windows and their permissions. This type of user account is intended for Single Windows Server installations where Active Directory Services are not being used.
Windows Active Directory User or Group
An Active Directory Account is a user account that exists in an Active Directory Services (ADS) repository within an organization that Quillix uses for authentication of a user's logon credentials. With this type of account, only the user's Quillix specific permissions are managed and stored within Quillix Capture. The user's logon credentials are managed by Active Directory Services. For more information, see the topic Enabling Active Directory User Support.
SAML User
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) can be used to add users to a Quillix system. See the topics Enabling SAML Account Support and Enabling Single Sign-on with SAML for more information.
Group Accounts provide a way to manage the permissions of a group of people with similar roles or responsibilities, rather than by their individual user accounts. Groups in Quillix are managed by Windows Local Accounts, by Active Directory Services, or by Quillix which is required in order to take advantage of the group administration features of Quillix. User rights are a combination of rights assigned to the User and to the Group.
Quillix Groups
Quillix Groups can contain SAML or Quillix Users. Quillix Users must be added to Quillix before being added to a Group. SAML users can automatically be added to a Group when logging in for the first time. See the topic Enabling SAML Account Support for more information.
Active Directory Groups / Windows Local Groups
In order to manage permissions, an Active Directory Group or Windows Local Group account must be created in the desired Active Directory repository or on the local Windows Server. Group membership and individual logon credentials are managed by Windows. When a user logs in to the Quillix Client and is authenticated using Windows or Active Directory credentials, Quillix will evaluate their group membership and allow access to features and information based on the group's permissions.
As long as a user is a member of an Active Directory or Windows group, and that group has permissions within Quillix, it is not required to add a user account or any individual user permissions within Quillix for that user.
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a feature that uses the login credentials for a user already authenticated by an authentication provider to automatically log in to the Quillix Web application without displaying the Quillix Login Screen. SSO in Quillix can be enabled using Active Directory or SAML. See the topics Enabling Single Sign-on with Active Directory and Enabling Single Sign-on with SAML for more information.
