ReqMan Global User

Users in ReqMan follow a unique business model in which a single user can use the entire ReqMan platform free of charge. Furthermore, your user login enables you to participate in any project, for any organization, as long as you have the required permissions to do so.

User profile

The profile for each user includes contact information and user specific configurations, such as the time zone and culture, which dictates, for example, number and date formats.

Time zone

The time zone setting for each user determines how all timestamps are shown in the user interface for that particular user.

User groups

User groups can be created in a tree hierarchy for each project. Users are then assigned to one of the user groups.

Permissions

The ReqMan platform contains an elaborate permission model in which all entities (project, specifications, requirement, and so forth.) have permissions directly defined for each user or
through inheritance.

Permission inheritance is based on the principle that if you have access to an entity at a certain level, then you should also have access to all entities at lower levels than that entity. For example, if you have access to a specification, then you would inherit access to all requirements that are contained within that specification.

For each permission, the level of permission is specified as read or write.
