Managing Users


Whether you have a large number of users or only a few, it is useful to create groups. For example, you can create a group for users who author maps in Autodesk MapGuide Studio, and assign the Map Author role to this group. Anyone who is added to this group in the future will automatically receive Map Author access.

You add users and view the user list from the Manage Users page.

The first time you view this page, the table of users contains only the built-in accounts: Site Administrator, Map Author, Anonymous User, WMS User, and WFS User.

The recommended workflow to add users and groups is as follows:

1. Create groups.
2. Create users and assign to groups.
3. Assign roles to groups and to individual users.
