Managing Users

Managing users includes creating and deleting users, associating users with subscriptions, and assigning users roles. You can perform these operations by using MATRIXX Backoffice Customer Tool and any custom applications that call the SubMan APIs.

Users have a many-to-many relationship with groups and subscriptions.
Note: Subscriptions and groups can have only one owner. A user can own multiple subscriptions or groups. See the discussion about user roles below for more information.
