Preliminary Concepts › CA Ideal Users and Systems › Users

Users

There are many kinds of CA Ideal users. Anyone who uses CA Ideal, from the Administrator who defines CA Ideal systems and users to the data‑entry person who runs the production version of a completed application, is a CA Ideal user. Each type of user has a different set of needs and responsibilities in CA Ideal. Each user is defined on the basis of these needs and responsibilities.

The CA Ideal Administrator or a user with authorization must define a user in CA Ideal. Part of defining a user is establishing the user's privileges. User privileges define the general type of privileges a user has to perform activities, which affect the global environment where CA Ideal functions. Each user must have at least one privilege defined.

Some privileges imply other privileges. The following chart illustrates how a privilege implies lesser privileges.
