Hello,

 

I've just started with developing K2 projects for our company. Now I'm working on a project to provide a customer portal through K2 platform. Now my question:

How is it possible to manage external useres? In K2 I should see AD users and erxternal users and put them togehter into groups. But I don't want to create external users in my AD. What is the best practise for that problem? Do I need a sperate system to manage external users and groups? Is there a good software you can recommend me? I don't want to loose the functionallity that AD useres are automatically logged in.

 

Thanks in advance for your Help.

 

Best Regards

Hi Hajit

 

I suggest you do some reading on User Managers in K2. One option for you might be to use the SQL User Manager: 

 

"The K2 SQL User Manager allows user information to be stored in an SQL database. K2 uses that SQL database for authentication and authorization of K2 tasks."

 

Another option is a separate AD domain for your external users and adding this domain to K2.
