User and group management using local authentication in Jitterbit App Builder

Introduction

This User Guide will step you through how to manage Users and Groups. This Guide applies to anyone running App Builder and using App Builder to manage authentication, or what is referred to as Local Authentication. For instances using different providers to handle authentication (e.g., Azure ADFS) you'll want to refer to related material to review any additional configuration that may be required.

This document assumes you have an Administrator role in App Builder. App Builder's security model includes the familiar concepts of Users and Groups. Users provide the basis for authentication, security groups, and authorization. Users and Groups are site-level: they do not belong to a specific application.

Though App Builder ships with default Users and Groups, they are generally defined by the Site Administrator.

For more information on User and Group Management, please see App Builder security overview.
