Managing user authorization

About this task

Authorization is given to a group of users, so to give authorization to a user, you must first define the group. Apache Syncope allows to create and manage those groups and assign users to them.

Creating a new group

About this task

To manage authorization rights of users already authenticated, you must assign them a group.

From the main menu of the Syncope console, open the Realms page and click Group to display the list of groups.

When you access Syncope for the first time, no group is found.

Procedure

  1. To create a new group, click the [+] button on the lower-right corner of this tab. to the left of the page. A New Group dialog box appears.
  2. In the Name field, type in the name of the group. Click Next.

    Example

  3. Keep the default settings of the other options and click Next and then Finish to create the new group.
    You can create as many groups as needed.
    Information noteWarning: Existing Talend ESB users, note that we now use Syncope Groups where we used Syncope Roles in previous versions of the Talend ESB and Apache Syncope. With the new Major version of Syncope and the way we use it with Talend ESB this is the more appropriate way. The Talend ESB Authorization page in Talend Administration Center and the remaining documentation on the ESB Authorization still uses the term Roles by this in the ESB use case the term Groups and Roles is used currently for the same purpose.

Assigning a user to a group

About this task

To assign a user to a group:

Procedure

  1. Go to the Users page of the Syncope console.
  2. Edit the user by clicking the icon.
  3. In the Edit User dialog box, click Next to go to the Groups page.

    Example

  4. Select a group from the Available box you want to assign the user to and add it to the Selected folder.
  5. Click Finish to finalize the assignment.

Results

Once users credentials have been created and the users are assigned to groups, authorizations can be provided to those users if the authorization feature is enabled in Talend ESB. For more information on how to manage users' authorization, see Managing ESB Resources and authorizations.
