Manage Users in Symphony
Symphony provides the management controls necessary to create users and manage user access of Symphony. Authorization for users to use product features and functions is controlled by the privileges, permissions, and attributes that are assigned to users, groups, and tenants.
When using SAML single sign-on protocol, users and groups may be automatically provisioned in Symphony (account level synchronization). For more information, see Supported Authentication Tools.
To add a new user quickly and easily, see Add New Users.
