Square 9 User Administration (Edit)

In addition to Windows Active Directory users and groups, GlobalSearch supports internal users and groups.  These are users that are local to the application. Users provisioned through 3rd party auth provider also leverage this user type for securing externals users and granting permissions. Internal users and groups are leveraged by cloud customers, on-premise customers who find it easier to allow the GlobalSearch administrator to manage accounts and access without involving IT, or for on-premise customer granting external users with no server or Active Directory account (such as vendors or customers) access to documents in GlobalSearch.
