  • First Name / Last Name: The user's full name.

  • Email: The email address associated with the account.

  • Global Roles: Displays the user's global roles. Project-level roles are not shown in this column.

  • Status: Indicates if the user accounts is active or inactive.

The Groups tab table displays all user groups and their details, including:

  • Group Name: The name of the user group.

  • Source: Indicates where the group originates from:

    • Local: A group manually created within Black Duck.

    • External: A group synchronized from an external authentication provider (LDAP or SAML).

  • Status: Indicates if the user group is active or inactive.

Managing users and groups

The Users & Groups page allows administrators to manage individual users and user groups directly from their respective tabs.

In the Users tab, you can click the username or the Options button button to manage the following:

  • User Details: View and edit the user's full profile, including email, status, and authentication source. You can also inactivate a user from here.

  • Overall Roles: Review and modify the user's assigned global roles (project-level roles are not displayed here).

  • Project Groups: The Projects Groups page lists the project groups to which this user belongs. In this section, you can select a group name to view the Group Name page from which you can manage group information, group roles, and group membership by adding or removing this user from one or more groups.

  • Project: View a list of projects where the user has assigned roles.

  • User Groups: The User Groups page lists the user groups to which this user belongs. In this section, you can select a group name to view the Group Name page from which you can manage group information, group roles and group membership.

    Users can view the user groups that they belong to by using the Profile page.

In the Groups tab, administrators can view and manage groups, including:
