Changing a User's Security Profile

Modified on Wed, Oct 2 at 3:59 PM

The user management page is where you can view and edit all of the users' names, contact information, Security Profiles, and more. 


User Types

In SOMAX there are three types of Users that can Access the SOMAX System. The Admin and Full users can be assigned to any security profile. The Request user can be changed to a Full or Admin user if there are enough open seats/licenses open see the Configuration Dashboard to determine the number of available seats/licenses.

  1. Admin Users, these are users that have been granted Administrative Configuration of the SOMAX System.  These users are counted against your Site's License Count
  2. Full Users, these are non admin users who can access SOMAX based on their security profile. These users are counted against your Site's License Count.
  3. Request Users, these users are Request only users and do not count against your Site's License Count. They are counted and displayed separately on the Configuration Dashboard
