Users, Groups and Permissions

User access to the SuperSTAR software suite is managed by the SuperADMIN service. The SuperSTAR clients (Such as SuperCROSS and SuperWEB2) connect to SuperADMIN to authenticate users.

SuperADMIN uses the typical system of Users and Groups of users to manage authentication, authorisation and permissions. By default, these are a locally maintained list of users and groups that you can manage using the SuperADMIN console. However, if you have an existing directory of users and groups then you can configure SuperADMIN to connect to your external user directory using protocols such as Active Directory, eDirectory or LDAP, rather than having to duplicate your user directory within SuperADMIN.
