Purpose of the article

This article details the terminology used within Cooperlink to distinguish between different types of users.

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.

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.
