Purpose of the article
This article details the terminology used within Cooperlink to distinguish between different types of users.
User types
| Denomination | Type | Description |
| User (internal) | Person | The user defines an internal collaborator who is assigned a Cooperlink DELIVER and/or BOOST license. A user is automatically connected to the company's tools through the connectors. |
| Group | Person | The group brings together several users. It assigns them a level of permission common to the whole. It is also used to simplify the addition of a group of people in projects (e.g. pole, department, ...). |
| Partner | Enterprise | Partner defines a partner company with a Cooperlink GUEST (free), EMPOWER or BOOST license For more information, see Collaboration schemes and use cases |
| Contact | Person | The contact defines the employee of a partner company. It is the contact that will be the subject of an invitation within a workspace. |
| Business card | Person or Company | The business card defines the contact details of a professional relationship. Contrarily to a contact, the business card cannot be invited in Cooperlink. It can, however, be used to create a new contact or partner. |
| System User | Technical | The system user is used by the connectors for all automatic operations. This user is not accessible and is transparent to end users. |
General roles and permissions for users (internal)
There are 3 types of (internal) users:
| User Type | Applies to | Description |
| Basic user | User, Group | Basic users have access to the app and spaces based on an invitation |
| Project Manager | User, Group | Project managers have the same rights as a basic user + the ability to create new spaces |
| Site administrator | User, Group | The site administrator has full access to the application configuration |
To assign a user the role of manager and administrator, it is necessary to add this user in two groups with different rights.
