Users, groups, roles, and privileges

The ability of users to access work and the functionality displayed in workflow items depend on the privileges contained in the roles that are assigned to the groups to which the users belong. Roles are commonly used to limit the following types of actions to specific user groups:

  • Creation of jobs
  • Reassignment of jobs
  • Editing of workflow diagrams
  • Management of workflow item settings
Nota:

Workflow item privileges are separate from ArcGIS Enterprise privileges and don't require ArcGIS Enterprise administrative privileges to manage roles and privileges for workflow items in Workflow Manager.

Users

User accounts and access to the Workflow Manager web app are managed in your organization's ArcGIS Enterprise portal.

Groups

Groups are managed in your organization's ArcGIS Enterprise portal and allow workflow item administrators to assign roles with a set of privileges to a group of users for a workflow item.
