Users
Users or User Accounts on the System can be Grouped in to User Groups. The user entity should map one-to-one with the People that are accessing iconik - everyone should have their own account. This helps with auditing, security and privacy.
User Types
There are four main types of user in iconik
- Power Users: Users with enhanced and possibly system administration privileges.
- Standard Users: Users with full access to all available functionality in the system, excluding system administration.
- Browse-only Users: Users who are restricted to read-only and download access, as well as being able to participate in review and approve workflows, including commenting on assets and approving or rejecting.
- Non-paid Users: Users with no user accounts can still access assets that are shared with them with a unique URL or through the process of review & approve. Non-paid users can upload to a shared collection if this functionality has been enabled for the share. Non-paid users are free of charge.

User Attributes

- ID: a unique ID number.
- Settings: for storing settings unique to the user.
- First Name & Last Name
- User Group Membership.
- User Avatar: A Link for displaying an avatar throughout iconik.
- Status: Active, InActive or Blocked.

Users membership to System Domains.
Every user has to belong to at least one System Domain, but they can also belong to more than one system domain if needed.
When a user is in more than one system domain (with the same email address), they will get a unique UserID for each domain that they are a member of.
Admin users
Admin users are special power users who have access to everything in iconik. They automatically get all roles applied and their admin level overrides all Access Control so they can change everything in your domain. Typically very few users should be an admin on your account when using iconik.
Status
A user can have one of three statuses on them:
- Active: They are allowed to login to iconik
- InActive: They are not allowed to login to iconik
- Blocked: They are blocked from access iconik. This is the same a InActive in functionality, but you may wish to flag a user as being blocked from logging in.
