User Management

Managing site-specific user roles and permissions is crucial for maintaining security and ensuring appropriate access within your Acquia Source site. For more information on adding users, visit Managing teams and users.

The user management system in Acquia Source helps you to:

  • Define roles with specific permissions
  • Control access to content and functionality
  • Manage authentication methods
  • Configure user settings

Acquia Source users must use their Acquia ID accounts to log in to any Acquia Source sites. User accounts are not site-specific like they are in a custom Drupal application running on Acquia Cloud Platform.

Levels of user management

Acquia Source provides the following levels of user management:

LevelInterfaceDescription
Platform-levelSites Dashboard

For managing users across multiple sites.

  • Teams are created and users are added to those teams.
  • Teams are assigned to one or more sites.
  • Only two roles exist at this level: Admin and Member.
  • The Admin role is special and grants administrative access to each assigned site.
Site-specificIndividual site

For managing users within an individual site.

  • Custom roles can be created for specific site needs.
  • The Admin and Member roles to users are synced across sites.
  • Permissions for all roles are site specific.
  • Any custom roles are site-specific.

This two-tier approach enables centralized user management across your organization and provides granular control within specific sites.
