Ecogy User Management 101
This article is aimed at educating AMS User Admins on the fundamentals and importance of being an Ecogy User Admin. The article reviews how to manage new User Types / Users / Permissions to provide optimal user experience.
If you are configured as a User Admin - you will have access to the User Management View. Click the Tile Drop Down > “Manage Users”
Within the Manage Users Portal you will find 3 key views:
Audit - view all historical changes associated with Users OR User Types
Users - this is where an Admin can:
Create a new user
Setup Profile with appropriate name, email, time zone and access window (start and end date) as applicable.
Assign the new User with a “User Type.” The user Type will set the default modules/view access along with default permissions.
Enable Data Downloading
Set Access to Specific Projects/Portfolios
View/Manage/Update the Profile, Permissions and Security of existing users
Users Types
Create a new User Type
User Types are utilized to categorize users and apply default Applications Access (AMS v Econode), Views and platform Permissions to new users within those categories. This is critical for Ecogy to maintain user satisfaction and reduce “information overload” as users should only receive access to views/modules that they require to function in their role.
Currently Ecogy is expanding it’s list of User Types in order to provide more value to relevant users. Here is the
View/Manage Existing User Types
Edits to a User Type’s Permissions will NOT affect the permissions for pre-existing users of that User Type
Edits to a User Type’s Applications Settings WILL apply to all users of that User Type - pre-existing and newly created
The following table summarizes our currently Proposed User Type break down:
