Basic authentication

Daria Barysheva

When basic authentication is used, users log in to ADB Control under the accounts previously created for them in the system. On the creation step, every user is assigned a role, which defines a set of permissions in ADB Control.

To manage users, you can use the Management tab on the Users page in the ADB Control web interface.

IMPORTANT

The operations listed below are available only to users with the Owner role. For more information on roles and permissions, see Authorization.
