How To Manage EZCMS Subscription
The setting page is your home to manage all things related to your subscription. From types of smart cards you offer and smart card settings, to application roles.
Set Instance Administrators
Instance administrators are the equivalent of global administrators of the application, this permission will allow the user to manage any setting of EZCMS as well as give themselves permission to execute any action in the portal.
This is a highly privileged role and should be limited to a handful of people in the organization.
- To manage instance administrators go to your EZCMS instance and click settings.
- Add or remove users and groups.
- Click “Save Changes”
Manage Smart Card Assignment
EZCMS supports 3 smart card assignment choices: Smart card is provided by the organization and specifically assigned to a user (recommended), smart card is registered by the organization but not assigned to the user, or users can buy their own smart card and use it for work (not recommended).
To set the smart card policy for your organization, follow these steps:
- Go to your EZCMS instance and click settings.
- Select your desired requirements.
If “smart card must be assigned” is selected, a group of smart card administrators will have to be added. These users will be able to assign smart cards to users in your organization.
