This page tells you how to authorise users to access Crowd, without giving them Crowd administration rights. Only Crowd administrators can authorise other users to access Crowd.
Administrators and Non-Administrators
The Crowd Administration Console presents the full range of Crowd administration functionality to authorised Crowd administrators.
Authorised Crowd users who are not administrators can also access the Crowd Console. They will see a subset of functionality, which we call the 'Self-Service Console'. Refer to the Crowd User Guide for details of this functionality.
Authorising Non-Administrators to Use the Crowd Self-Service Console
To authorise a non-administrator to use Crowd, you should ensure that both of the following are true:
- The person's username is in a user directory where all users are authorised to use Crowd. See the instructions below.
- The person is not a member of a group mapped to the 'crowd' application. (Group members will have Crowd administration rights.)
To grant an entire directory access to Crowd,
- Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
- Map your chosen user directory to the 'crowd' application.
- On the 'Directories' tab, set the 'Allow All to Authenticate' option to 'True'.
- Add the user(s) to the directory, if not already added.
