How to: Managing user relationships

  Step 1 : Summary
  Step 2 : Add a relationship
  Step 3 : Add a new relationship type
  Step 4 : Next steps

Add and edit relationships - (page 1 of 4)

Level: intermediate
Required reading: User management

In security, we can define users and groups as shown in previous how tos. In addition we can define relationships between users.
Using relationships we can define:
  Line management hierarchy;
  Current project manager assignments;
  HR representives for each staff member;
  etc.
Relationships therefore provide a flexible way to express common organisational structures.

In this example we will start by building up a line management hierarchy on the users defined in user management. Then we will introduce a new relationship type, "Project management", and assign some users as project managers.
