People

People covers everyone who can sign in to your organization’s Intric, how they’re organized into groups, and which role each one holds. It’s the layer above Space membership: a person has to exist here before they can be added to a Space.

How the pieces relate

A user

A person with an account in your organization’s Intric, holding one organization role — User, Creator, or Admin.

A user group

A named set of users you can grant access to a Space, or otherwise manage together, in one action rather than one at a time.

A role

What a user is allowed to do — at the organization level (User, Creator, Admin) or, separately, within a specific Space (Viewer, Editor, Admin). See Roles in Intric.

A Space member

A user who has been added to a specific Space, holding a Space role there. Space membership is managed inside the Space itself, not here — see Members.

How groups simplify access

Grant an entire user group access to a Space or an assistant in a single action, instead of adding each person to it individually. When someone joins or leaves the group, their access follows automatically.

Single sign-on and directory sync

Intric supports SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect, so you can integrate sign-in with your organization’s existing identity provider rather than managing separate Intric credentials.

SSO can also provision accounts, not just authenticate them. With provisioning turned on, a person who signs in through your identity provider for the first time gets an Intric account created for them automatically — no prior invitation needed. See Users for how a provisioned account shows up alongside invited ones, and SSO and User Groups for how your identity provider administrator sets it up.
