User

A user is a digital object representing a person that has any access right to the Tulip system. There are two types of users:

  1. Users- Users with some level of access to Tulip
  2. Operators- Users with access to the Tulip Player for running Tulip apps

The User Model contains the following Models:

When actions are completed in Tulip or Tulip Player, they are always attributed to an individual User.

Tulip Users can authenticate via the following methods:

  • LDAP
  • SAML
  • Email/Password
  • Badge ID (Tulip Player only)

See the Authentication Methods page for more details

Once a user is created, it is permanently stored in the Tulip account. It can be “deactivated” so that the user is no longer allowed to log into Tulip or the Tulip Player.

If a user is “deactivated”, then another user can use their badge ID.
