Clients Administration
The division in partial systems is largely achievable through powerful access control list (Clearances) functionality that provides logical separation by determining which objects or users are visible in the system to who and to what level; mostly by automated rules. At various points in the system, client-specific settings can be defined to create a unique environment; e.g. own interfaces, design, user profiles, business rules, groups, navigation, dashboards, licence settings, wording and even email settings.

Relations between users, groups and clients
With multi-client systems, the setup of user groups is recommended to be organised so that assigned users all originate from the same client to ensure a clear division. This allows the use of unique navigations for each client, because the visibility of navigation items is based on the group affiliation of a given user. Users can also be assigned to multiple clients if needed, but must have a master-client. The visibility of clients to users differs and is not regulated by clearances. In principle, users with access to the client manager can see those clients to whom they are assigned to (by a super administrator or rules). A given user can only assign other users to those clients or select those clients at other points in the system.
Functions of the Client Manager
New
The client function is typically configured by imc Consultants given the amount of important settings, but can be performed by imc customer system administrators as well. When creating a client all tabs and settings will be available, but if editing a client all will only be available if editing the "Global" context.
Description Tab
When editing a client it can be done either “Global” or system specific to enable specific configuration per system such as front-end URL; e.g. Prod or Stage environments to have different domains. In addition to general administrative fields, the “Design” of the client is also selected on the description tab. The “Logout URL” to which the client user is sent after logging off from the system is also stated; this can be an external URL and if left blank will logout to the “External Start Page” for the client.

E-mail Addresses Tab
There are two sections to the "E-mail addresses" tab which are the "Sender's e-mail address" and "Recipient of system e-mails".
Sender's e-mail address: are used to adjust alter details of enrolment messages and notifications for trainings delivered by Providers that have been linked to the Client. While it is possible to configure Provider specific Enrolment Messages (triggers & texts) and Notifications with the same fields manually populated, it is much easier updating the four fields and the Learning Suite will automatically adjust the details on standard mails when a Provider linked to a Client is detected."Recipient of system e-mails" section contains matching recipient fields to the defaults configured in "Settings > Configuration > Communication/Mail". If values are defined in the Client then these will take precedence over the default values. In the case of a multi-client system multiple receivers can receive generic emails such as log files.
"Recipient of system e-mails": section contains matching recipient fields to the defaults configured in "Settings > Configuration > Communication/Mail". If values are defined in the Client then these will take precedence over the default values. In the case of a multi-client system multiple receivers can receive generic emails such as log files.

Languages Tab
If several languages are licensed on the system the relevant platform languages can be defined for each client. Only the languages added here are displayed for this client and if languages are added one must be ticked as “Default” to save.
Settings Tab
This tab summarises various configuration possibilities that all have effects on the client. Detailed information on the individual functions and settings can be taken from the online help “i” information icons per field. Below are setting descriptions for fields without the “i” icon:
Configuration Manager - Client | Settings
Access and Security Tab
This tab summarizes various configuration settings, all of which have an impact on the client setup in terms of access and security; e.g. account enrolment or authentication workflows and access parameters. Detailed information on the individual settings can be found in the online help “i” icons.

Authentication Methods
Under “Authentication methods”, the configured authentication methods can be edited with regard to their use (“enabled/disabled”) and the description displayed. At the same time, the order in which the different authentication methods are displayed on the login page can be defined.
Import Source Settings Tab
For local authentication the rules for generating and validating the login name and password can be determined for each client. In addition, various rules can be defined for each import source (LOCAL, LDAP, CSV) and context (BACKEND, FRONTEND, GLOBAL, IMPORTWIZARD, SCHEDULE, SELFREGISTRATION).

User Assignment
Users are added to or removed from clients with the help of a CSV user list that needs to be uploaded. The list needs to start with a unique identifier (e.g. user ID or e-mail address) and list the values (e.g. IDs or e-mail addresses) of the individual users.
Sample file:
userlist.zip
From the user manager, in turn, users can be selected, and a list of all clients they were assigned to displayed. Further clients can be added, and assigned ones can be removed.
Depending on the system configuration, the client assignment is carried out automatically. One or more clients need to be assigned to a user so the user can use the system.
The user assignment can also be done in the configuration manager, which is then valid for the entire system.
