- Managing Users and Groups in a Multi-tenant Application
The UX component Admin_MaintainUsersAndGroups can be installed when you set up the Security Framework with the Security Genie. This component is key to multi-tenant mode. This lets a manager in one tenant (organization) add/edit users and groups only for that tenant.
- Seed Users and Groups
Seed users and groups are managed using the Security Framework tools in the development environment.
- Storing Additional User Information
When you use the Security Framework in an Alpha Anywhere application, the table that contains the list of user names and passwords is a system table which cannot be modified to add fields to store additional information about each user. Instead, an Extended User Information Table must be used. This is especially important for applications published to Alpha Cloud or the Application Server for IIS.
