Manage IT Users

OutSystems allows you to define the permissions of IT users using a role-based permission model. This model enables you to set up the permissions of your IT users for simple to complex security policy needs, as you can:

• Set up the permissions of a small team using only the built-in default roles, Developer and Administrator.

• Create additional roles to better control the different permission levels of a larger team.

• Use teams to manage an enterprise-grade security policy, where you have many applications and users.

• Grant or revoke permissions to users for specific applications without using teams.

Manage your IT Teams in the USER MANAGEMENT area of your LifeTime console (https://<lifetime_env>/lifetime).

To manage IT teams, you must be an infrastructure manager.
