User management

The LN administrator uses LN ’s User Management to enable users to work with LN and to give these users authorizations related to their role.

To work with LN, a user must have an LN user logon with a password, and the correct authorizations. Define the authorizations for LN in roles and templates that can be linked to the LN users. The role and template concept provides you with a user-friendly method to quickly add new users or to update user authorizations.

Centralized user management through Infor Federation Services (IFS)

LN supports centralized user management. If user management is centralized, IFS is appointed as the System of Record (SOR) for security users.

The security user integration between IFS and LN is role-based. In IFS, you must assign one of three specific, predefined standard roles to a security user. This makes the user an LN user, and grants the user access to the LN application through Infor OS Portal.

In IFS you can assign these standard roles to a security user:

  • Infor-SystemAdministrator - This role is used for overall administrators and makes the user a super user in LN.
  • LN-Administrator - This role is used for LN administrators and makes the user a super user in LN.
  • LN-User - This role makes the user a normal user in LN. To enable the user to actually use the LN application, you must assign additional LN-specific roles.

See the Infor LN Integration Guide for IFS.
