Managing Roles and Users
Redwood Server features a simplified security model based on built-in Redwood roles. Users and roles from external authentication systems are used to access the user interface, it is not possible to create users or roles inside Redwood Server. Basic privileges can be granted inside the authentication system, via the built-in roles; the process depends on the authentication system you are using. Fine-grained privileges can then be granted in the user interface to custom roles that you previously created in the external authentication system.
Finding Users
You can search for users using filters and the Search Users box on the Users tab. This box is known as the IntelliSearch box and located under your username on the top right-hand side of the user interface. Filters allow you to specify a list of objects with static criteria. IntelliSearch allows you to specify complex queries in a simple way using prefixes. Prefixes are used to specify which property you are searching in and have short as well as long syntaxes. For example, if you want to display all users with the term user in the comment, you would use the search criteria as follows:
c:PR1
You can search more than one property, as follows:
c:PR1 n:JV
note
No spaces should be entered before or after the colon (:).
See the Advanced Object Search for more information.
The following table illustrates the available prefixes for queues:
| Prefixes | Description |
|---|---|
| n, name | searches the name property |
| c, comment | searches the documentation property |
| d, description | searches the description property |
| a, application | searches the application property |
| cb, changedbefore | (internal) search for users that changed before a certain ISO-8601 period |
