Overview

The security approach is divided into two distinct spheres of responsibility

...

• Users are managed via the DuraCloud Management Console. In the Management Console, an account administrator has the ability to:
  1. Add and remove users to the DuraCloud account
  2. Create Groups and add users to groups in order to simplify access control
• Access Control is managed at the space level
  • Within DuraCloud (via the UI or the REST API), an account administrator has the ability to define which users and groups have access to a space, as well as the type of access (read or write) that is available.
