User types determine the features an
Address Manager user
has access to. Use the Non-Administrator user type for typical
Address
Manager users who manage only DNS and IPAM data. Use the Administrator type for
administrators or users who need unlimited access to all
Address
Manager functions.
| User Type |
Features |
| Non-Administrator |
- These users can't view or change Address Manager
system settings. Controlled access to Address
Manager objects: you define access rights for these users to determine
which objects they can view, add, edit, or delete.
- Security Privileges: you determine if this user can view, change, add, or
delete their own and other users’ access rights.
- History Privilege: you determine if the user can view the audit trail for
Address Manager objects.
- Locking: you can lock these users to temporarily prevent them from logging
in to Address Manager. Use the Lock User function
to lock out users when you need to perform resource-intensive processes, such
as database maintenance or a large data migration. You can also use this
function to lock out users who no longer need access to Address Manager.

Note: Non-Administrator + API users don't

rights for Non-Administrator + API users. Access rights for this user and
access type combination must be set at the configuration level or lower.
