Global administration
The global administration area is only available to persons with the role Global Admin.
The global administration area provides a large number of general settings. Users and groups can be maintained, external authentication providers can be configured and data can be managed.
Users
Clicking on the following icon, which is marked with the text 'User administration', opens the user administration.
User objects are users in the system. Depending on the assigned role or function within the Business unit, users can perform various activities and actions.
Properties
| Property | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Used for identification, authentication and notifications. | |
| Password | The user's password. |
| First name | The user's first name. |
| Last name | The user's last name. |
| Supervisor | The user's supervisor. This is also used to control (approval) processes. |
If an external authentication provider has been used, further user properties are available depending on the provider, e.g. street, city, telephone etc.
If an external authentication provider has been configured, changes in linqi can be overwritten by the synchronization.
Roles
Users can be assigned two roles in the global administration area.
Business unit Admin
The 'Business unit Admin' role is responsible for creating and managing business units.

The 'Global Admin' role is responsible for managing the instance.

Import user
The following columns must be present in the CSV file:
- First name

- Password
If you are updating an entry, you can leave the Password column empty so as not to change the user's password.
Optionally, you can also enter the following columns:
- Supervisor
The supervisor's e-mail address must be entered as the supervisor. If this column is defined and the value in the CSV file is empty, the superior will be removed.
Groups
You can navigate to the group administration via the left navigation within linqi. Click on the following icon, which is marked with the text 'Group administration', to open the group administration.
Groups are used to authorize several people at the same time, e.g. departments or organizational units. This allows you to control the process or the display of objects without assigning individual authorizations. Groups can be selected in person selection fields. When using external authentication providers such as Active Directory, the groups that have been synchronized are displayed in the group management.
!> If an external authentication provider has been configured, changes in linqi can be overwritten by the synchronization.
| Property | Explanation |

| Name | Identifier of the group. |
| Members | One or more users can be assigned to the group. |

Theming
