NICE INFORM USER ADMINISTRATION USER GUIDE Welcome
1 Welcome
The NICE Inform User Administration application enables administrators to set up
system-wide and user-by-user security for NICE Inform.
Each and every user of NICE Inform requires a security account, which is used to control
access to all logging channels available in the system.
NOTE: Users DO NOT require individual accounts to be set up on each of the

underlying logging systems.
Saving and canceling changes
The User Administration application consists of many tabbed pages. Many of these pages
have a Save and a Cancel button.
The Save button commits the changes you have just made. If you try and navigate from the
page without saving you are asked if you wish to save the changes. If at any time you wish
to change any settings back as they were, click the Cancel button prior to clicking the Save
button.
Application privileges
To use the User Administration application, you MUST have the required privilege allocated
to you (refer to Application privileges (see page 36)) NICE Inform applications). If not, the
User Administration option will not be displayed in the Application selector bar when you log
in.
Security principles
This section outlines the important security principles available when using the NICE Inform
User Administration application.
Profiles
A profile defines the applications and features that are available for a user. A profile is a way
of defining the roles users will perform such as a Dispatcher or a Disclosure Officer (refer to
Creating a new profile (see page 45)).
Users are given permission to use certain NICE Inform applications and application features
by attaching a profile to them (refer to Attaching a profile to a user (see page 47)).
NOTE: Without an attached profile a user CANNOT use any NICE Inform application.
User groups and resources
User groups can be created and then users can be added to that group (refer to Creating a
new user group (see page 29)).
Users are given access to recordings in the system by attaching resources to user groups
(refer to Attaching resources to a user group (see page 51)). Resources represent the
different sources of recordings such as channels, talkgroups or extensions. Multiple
resources can be attached to a user group.
NOTE: Making a user a member of the Administrators group assigns them access to
every resource and every user in the system.
Page 1 of 51
NICE INFORM USER ADMINISTRATION USER GUIDE Welcome
Managers
Making a user a Manager of a group assigns them access to the other users of the group
and sub-groups so they can be administered.
For help making a user a manager of that group, refer to Editing a user group (see page 30).
Page 2 of 51
NICE INFORM USER ADMINISTRATION USER GUIDE Navigation panel
2 Navigation panel
NOTE: Specific terminology is used when navigating the tree pane. For help with this
terminology, refer to Tree structure terminology (see page 4).
The Navigation panel consists of a tree pane which has the following nodes:
▪ Organization - a fixed node for system wide settings.

▪ All users - a fixed node displaying all users groups in the system. Nodes in this
section consist of:
– Non-active Users - a fixed group containing those who have been deleted
from the system.
– Administrators - a fixed group containing those who have privileges to view

all resources and users defined in the system.
– User Groups - consists of groups and sub-groups. When a group or

sub-group is selected, the members of that group are listed in the right hand
pane.
▪ Profiles - a fixed node that lists the profiles that have been created. A single
profile is attached to a user to specify which application privileges that person has
been granted by their System Administrator.
▪ Search results - a fixed node showing the results of the last search.
User security
The top level of the Organization node is concerned with security aspects of User
Administration. When the Organization node is selected, tabbed pages are available for
security configuration (refer to System Security (see page 7)).
2.1 Button bar

There are a number of available buttons within User Administration for selection:
Table 2-1: User Administration button bar
Button Description
New - displays a drop down menu that allows you to add new users, new user groups
and new profiles. The button remains inactive until you select a node or branch that
allows you to perform this function.
Delete - deletes the current tree pane selection. You are required to confirm the action.
The button remains inactive until you select a node or branch that allows you to perform
this function.
Move - allows you to move the selected user group and any associated sub-groups from
one node to another (refer to Moving a user group (see page 33)). The button remains
inactive until you select a node or branch that allows you to perform this function.
Search - allows you to enter search text in order to search for users, groups and profiles
(refer to Searching for users, user groups and profiles (see page 49)).
Refresh data - refreshes the tree structure and any lists displayed in the right hand
pane.

2.3 Tree structure terminology

A tree structure is used throughout NICE Inform to aid in your navigation of the application
suite and is required to perform further functions. Using the Resource Groups section in
System Administration as an example, there are a number of terms used when navigating
the tree:
NOTE: Refer to the table below for a key to each feature.
Figure 2-1: Navigating the tree example
Table 2-2: Tree structure terminology
Feature number Description
Nodes
Parent
Child/sub group
▪ Node - everything in the tree is classed as a node.

▪ Parent - the top level node e.g. Resource Groups.
▪ Child (or sub group) - the node below its parent.
▪ A child (or sub group) can also be a parent as well. Using the example above, the
Dispatchers node is a child of the Resource Groups node but is also a parent of the
First response node.
▪ To expand a node, click the button alongside the node.
▪ To collapse a node, click the button alongside the node.
