User Management in bxp

Contents

1 Overview

System Access Management or SAM is the primary security module of bxp.

Every user has a unique account. Everything that occurs in bxp is linked to this unique account and is auditable. The level of audit detail varies.

There are two primary security considerations for every user. Functional and Content access. These are described here. Function_Vs._Content

• Functional access is concerned with the modules of bxp
• Content access is concerned with access to content stored in the modules.

System Champions are usually responsible for user management which is primarily done through the System Access Management module. Understanding_bxp_Support#System_Champions
