In Yuki, the management of users and their rights is very important for the effective and secure management of data within a domain.
Here are the main aspects of users:
- Access management
For each user within a domain can be determined which administration(s) they have access. This ensures that users only have access to relevant data necessary for their work. - Roles and rights
Roles are used in Yuki to control the rights of a user. By assigning specific roles, users can get specific rights. - Add additional users
Adding additional users to a domain is possible when a user with the 'Management' role has chosen the bundle Medium, Large, or Unlimited in the Yuki Store. This is done at an additional monthly cost per added user.
Only a user with the 'Management' role can assign one or more roles to the additional users in the domain.
For a detailed description, see article Assign or change user roles in domain. - Grant or deny access
A user with the 'Management' role has the power to grant or deny access to specific administrations within the domain at any time.
For a detailed description, see article Access control of administration(s) in domain.
Access to users and their role(s) overview
To access:
- click on the Switch domain icon above the navigation bar and then clcik on My domain
OR - click on the Settings icon in the navigation bar
- then, in the now-opened screen, in the Domain section click on Users.
Rights per user role overview
The screen with the user details of the domain is always opened in the Default view.

This screen shows the log-in name and roles (with the associated rights) which each user currently has in the domain.
Below the (additional) rights per role are described
