^ Setup ^^^
| Login | Enter user login. ||

| Groups | Add or remove user groups. Remember to first define a [[110:eos:console:users_usergroups:usergroup|user group]], then assign a user to the group. It is also possible to keep this field empty. ||

===== Private Permissions & Roles =====

It is advised to read first the documentation about the concepts and terminology of [[110:eos:concepts:roles_permissions|dataset permissions and roles on extensions]].

| Resource | Lists all resources where a certain user wants special access (other than global) to. Use the buttons at the bottom of the list to add or remove a resource.||
| Permission | Choose one of the four options: 'hidden', 'viewable', 'editable' or 'inherited'. For more detailed explanation see [[110:eos:concepts:roles_permissions|]]. ||
| Extension| Lists all extensions where a certain user gets special access to. Use the buttons at the bottom of the list to add or remove an extension. ||
| Role | Choose one of the three options: 'user', 'operator' or 'administrator'. For more detailed information see [[110:eos:concepts:roles_permissions|]].||
