User

Overview

A User represents an individual account in Datascaphe Uplink. Users belong to an organization and can be granted access to one embedded report along with a role that defines what they can do in the service.

There are two layers to a user account:

Access	License required	Description
Backend	No	Access to the Datascaphe web application and use the backend interface for management of reports, users, etc.
Extension	Yes	Enable report embedding and interaction with the browser extension.

A paid license is required for using the Extension features after the end of the trial period.

It is possible to have users with Extension access but without Backend access. This allows having people using the browser extension without giving them access to the backend interface.

Users with Backend access always also have Extension access. But if a user with Backend access does not have an allocated license, he will technically not be able to use the extension.

Users can authenticate either through Microsoft (Azure AD / Entra ID) or directly through Datascaphe credentials.

See Accounts & Roles for details on roles and permissions.
