Users and Contacts

In CLOUDFLOW, there is a difference between Users and Contacts.

Users

Users can interact with the CLOUDFLOW system. They have access to the CLOUDFLOW Workspace and depending on their permissions they can manage specific parts of the CLOUDFLOW system. In CLOUDFLOW there is a special admin user who has all the permissions to manage the CLOUDFLOW system. Users have an email, a login, a password and permissions.

Contacts

Contacts are special guest users who cannot log into the CLOUDFLOW Workspace. The purpose of a contact is to view assets without the need of creating a user in CLOUDFLOW. They interact with CLOUDFLOW in a limited security context. They can be created manually in CLOUDFLOW Workspace, or are created automatically when needed. Contacts have only an email.
