User roles

Access to the application functions is provided to the user in accordance with his role. A role is a set of rights and privileges for managing the application.

Four groups of system users are created in the operating system: kicsadmin, kicsuser, kicsaudit, and nokics. When you assign an application role to a system user, this user is added to the corresponding group of roles (see the table below). When you revoke a role from a user, this user is removed from the corresponding group of roles.

If no application role is assigned to a system user, that user belongs to a separate group of users without privileges.

Thus, the roles correspond to the four groups of operating system users:

The table below describes the three roles in the application and their rights.
