Users in Distributed Architecture
This section describes specifics of users behavior in a distributed installation of Iotellect.
If a user account from a provider server is connected to a context tree on a consumer server, the user account itself and all resources owned by the user become available for users of the consumer server. However, users of the provider server cannot login to the consumer server using their login credentials.
When consumer server users access resources of a connected provider server's user account, their effective permission level for a certain provider server's resource is defined by:
- The provider-server-side permission level of a user the consumer server as logged in as
- The consumer-server-side permission level of a user that performs the operation
See permissions in distributed environment for more information.
