Through User management, administrators can create and manage users and their privileges. They can, for example, set the default permissions in System settings – Default permissions, under vault management. Remote Desktop Manager offers advanced user rights management to restrict access to entries. Note that the availability of some features depends on the active workspace.
This feature requires an advanced workspace.
A user can be created using default security (specify the password) or integrated security. Not all advanced workspaces support the use of integrated security.
Only administrators of both Remote Desktop Manager and the underlying database can create users and assign permissions.
To create, edit, delete, rename, or otherwise manage users, use the buttons in the toolbar located in Users – Users.
