Users can be added to OpenAsset manually or through integration with your LDAP/Active Directory. When integrated with LDAP/AD, your users will be able to login with the same credentials they use to login to their workstations. 

While you can assign some permissions to users, many more permissions can be assigned to groups in OpenAsset. All users in your system are within at least one group.

To manage the Users in your system, navigate to 'Security' > 'Users' in your Settings menu.

To delete a user, click the checkbox next to the user name and then select the 'Delete' button in the ribbon.
