Managing LCS Users in Your Project

Note: LCS has been deprecated. Customers should migrate off of LCS by December 1st, 2021, by replacing it with our latest activation key type which is suitable for virtualized environments.

For further information, please see Changes to Liferay Product Activation.

The Users section of LCS is where you manage the LCS users that are part of your project. It’s here that you can grant or revoke LCS Roles. To manage users, first click the Users tab just below the Dashboard tab on the upper-left of your screen.

Note: You can’t add users to your project via the LCS UI or the LCS client app. To add users to your project, you must contact Liferay support.

Figure 1: The Users tab lets you manage the LCS users in your project.

The Users tab displays a list of the users in your project. This list includes each user’s name, email, image, LCS Roles, and a Manage Roles button. Each LCS user must have an assigned Role. The following Roles are available:

LCS Administrator: All LCS functionality is available to administrators. This is the only Role that can manage other users’ Roles.

LCS Environment Manager: All LCS functionality is available in the scope of an environment, with the exception of managing other users.

LCS Environment Viewer: Has read-only access in the scope of an environment.

You should note that each of these LCS Roles assume users already have the LCS User Role in their Liferay.com accounts. The LCS User Role is granted automatically the first time a user logs into LCS. The actions that can be performed by each of the LCS Roles are detailed in the below permissions matrix.

LCS Permissions Matrix

Now that you know what Roles are available in an LCS project and what they do, you’re ready to learn how to manage them.

Managing LCS Roles

Follow these steps to manage a user’s LCS Roles:

1. Click the user’s Manage Roles button.

2. To revoke a Role, click Revoke Role for that Role.

3. To assign a Role, choose the Role (and environment, if applicable) and click Assign.

Note: A user can’t have an environment Role (e.g., LCS Environment Manager, LCS Environment Viewer) and the LCS Administrator Role at the same time.
