1.2.3 Authentication, Roles, and Permissions

Authentication

The default authentication method in Thinfinity® Workspace is Windows logon: you can access Thinfinity Workspace with the same Windows credentials that you use to access the computer where Thinfinity Workspace is installed. The platform supports various additional authentication methods, such as delegated identity providers and directory services.

Roles

Allow the implementation of access management policies and approval workflows by associating permissions to specific roles.

Permissions

Permissions determine who has access to what module of Thinfinity Workspace. Also, permissions determine who can access a specific access profile. Permissions can be granted on an individual level for a single user, or for a group of users. Furthermore, permissions can grant access to a single access profile or to several access profiles grouped under a Label.
