    Users & Groups: User Management

    Frontend Users

    "Frontend users" (or local Curator users) are responsible for bringing together your various platforms to create individual frontend experiences. These users are matched based on their usernames, so it's crucial to ensure consistent naming across your connected systems - if you do not have them matched exactly, see our Username Mapping guide.

    To view the list of frontend users, go to the backend and navigate to Settings > Users > Frontend Users from the left-hand menu. Each user who has signed into Curator will have a corresponding record. Clicking on a user record will display details about that user, including any connected platforms.

    You can also get a preview of the user's navigation near the top of this page.

    Platform Users

    "Platform users" refer to the records maintained by Curator for users synced from your connected systems (e.g., Tableau users, ThoughtSpot users, etc.). These platform users store synced information from the respective systems, which can be leveraged by the Frontend User for permissions and platform-specific actions like favoriting or subscribing to a Tableau dashboard.

    To access the list of platform users, go to the backend and navigate to Curator Backend > Settings > [PlatformName] > [PlatformName] Users from the left-hand menu. Some systems may have multiple records per user if they have multiple IDs (e.g., Tableau has a user record with unique IDs per site). Clicking into a user record will provide more details about that user. You can also sync a specific platform user from this page.

    Frontend Groups

    Frontend groups are created within Curator and serve functionalities such as restricting access to navigation items or overriding frontend styles based on group membership. To access these groups, go to the backend and navigate to Curator Backend > Settings > Users > Frontend Groups.

    Creating Frontend Groups

    Membership for frontend groups can be established by manually selecting users or by choosing one or more groups from other platforms. If a group from another platform is chosen, the membership will automatically be reflected in the frontend group.

    For example, let's say you create a group called "Tableau Users" and select the "All Users" group from your Tableau Server's default site. In this case, any user who logs in and has a Tableau user account from that site will be automatically added to the "Tableau Users" frontend group.

    Batch Create

    If you want to create multiple Frontend Groups associated with one platform group each, you can use the batch create functionality instead of repeating the create process:

    1. Go to Curator Backend > Settings > Users > Frontend Groups.
    2. Click the "Batch Create" button.
    3. Select the sources from which you want to pull groups. This action doesn't create Frontend Groups; it only pulls in a list of available groups from the selected sources.
    4. Click "Preview Available Frontend Groups".
    5. Check the boxes next to each group you want to create. If you're having trouble finding the desired groups, you can sort the table by clicking on the column headers

    User and Membership Syncing

    Curator needs to make API calls to your various platforms to keep the platform user information up to date. This happens when a user logs into Curator to ensure they have the most current information. At the same time, Curator checks if the user is in any platform groups associated with a frontend group and updates the membership accordingly.

    Curator also provides the option to run a scheduled group sync for all frontend groups. You can find the settings for this at Curator Backend > Integrations > Global Settings. By default, you can keep this set to "Never" as the membership is updated on login.

    Sometimes, the login process can be slow because the platform takes time to respond with the group information. If this is the case, there is a feature called "Skip User Group Sync on Login" in Integrations > Global Settings. Enabling this feature will skip the membership sync on login and only perform the platform user sync, which tends to be quick across systems. When this feature is enabled, new users will be created during the scheduled group sync to ensure they are already in their groups when they first log in to Curator.

    Note: We recommend not disabling the on-login membership sync unless the Curator login process is very slow. Allowing the sync to happen on login ensures the most current membership for your users.

    Note: If you disable the on-login sync, you also need to ensure a scheduled group sync is configured to run. Ideally, you should do this during low usage hours (e.g., midnight) to ensure group membership is fully synced by the time users log in.
