Live! Home
- Live! Administrators
Live! administrators are responsible for creating, managing, and maintaining the Live! rooms, groups, and users. There are two types of administrators in Live! and each has its defined responsibilities in administering the Live! projects: - Live! groups
The Home Administrators play the role of defining the Live! groups. Groups contains one or more users and each group will have a specific set of permissions to a Room based on how it is assigned to that Room. The Active Directory groups derive their collection of users from the Active Directory. The local groups are created based on the project requirements and contain the list of users. The groups are then assigned to different Live! Rooms based on the business requirement. - Live! users
The Home administrators are authorized to create and manage the local users. - Active Directory groups and users
The Active Directory (AD) users can be fetched from the Active Directories and used in the Live! environment. Use the LDAP URL to set up a connection to AD. The URL must contain the IP address or the DNS host name where the LDAP service is running. The users credentials that are obtained from AD cannot be modified by the Home administrators in Live! - Local Groups and Users
Groups and users that are created in the Live! application are local groups and users. They are different from the Active Directory groups and users. You can view the list of local groups and users in the groups page. Home administrators have the permission to assign users to any group, whereas the Room administrators can manage users in the groups that are assigned to the rooms to which they have access to. - Exporting and importing
Home administrators have the permissions to export or import groups and users by either using the menu option in the user interface or from the command line. In a multiple projects environment, the exported data can be transferred between projects and reused to set up different instances of Live! Exporting data on a regular basis acts as a backup to maintain, analyze, and archive data. Import the exported data at any time across multiple projects to recover or reuse data.
