Users administration
User Administration allows you to create, organize and administer individual users. It includes the management of access rights, roles and permissions to ensure that each user has the appropriate level of authorization to access the software's features and information.
In BeCPG, user administration is controlled via the admin tool available in the beCPG administration.
Users management
User management is essential to ensure adequate control of access to data and software functionalities, while guaranteeing security, confidentiality and compliance with internal or regulatory policies.
In beCPG
In the admin tool, via the “New user” button:
The interface allows you to enter user information (surname, first name, username, email address, etc.) and the groups allowing access to the application.
Note: If the system is SSO enabled, users created in the admin tool will not be able to log in.
Via SSO
SSO (Single Sign-On) is a single authentication mechanism that enables a user to log on once to a system or platform, and then access multiple applications or services without having to log on again each time. SSO simplifies login and password management by centralizing authentication, while improving user experience and security.
When a user logs in via SSO, an account is automatically created in beCPG. Users authenticated via SSO are then identified in the admin tool.
Via imports
For importing users, please refer to this documentation.

It is possible to modify user information, such as :
- Change password (if forgotten)

Group administration
A user group in software refers to a set of users grouped together according to common criteria, such as their roles, responsibilities or needs for access to system functionalities. User group management enables rules and permissions to be applied collectively rather than individually, simplifying administration and access control. The aim is to simplify access management, improve administrator efficiency and ensure that users only have access to the information and functions they need.
In BeCPG, groups are administered using the admin tool available in beCPG administration.
beCPG Standard Groups
beCPG's standard default groups are pre-configured sets of users that are automatically created during system installation. These groups are defined according to standard functions, and are used to manage user access and permissions in a centralized and simplified way.
beCPG groups are:

License management
WARNING: Each beCPG user must belong to one of the license groups .
Licenses in beCPG are managed by groups:
Named licence: licence assigned to one user. Concurrent License: licence shareable between multiple users, but used by only one user at a time, so a user can use the software once other users has stopped using it (voluntary logout or end of session). Write licence allow: create and modify products, formulation, generate reports, product approval, use of workflows to manage products, project management. Read licence allow: read products, documents and projects, collaboration (blog, wiki pages, forums, lists of data), document management. Supplier licence: this allows supplier to fill data.
To assign a license to a user, simply add the user to one of the following groups:
Licences |
---|
beCPG Concurrents read licences (LicenseReadConcurrent) |
beCPG Named read licence (LicenseReadNamed) |
beCPG Concurrents Write licences (LicenseWriteConcurrent) |
beCPG Named write licences (LicenseWriteNamed) |
beCPG Supplier concurrents licences (LicenseSupplierConcurrent) |
NB: To find out the number and type of licenses purchased, please refer to your license agreement.
