User vs. Group Profiles

To take advantage of any of the Kofax Capture user management features, you must first enable the User Profiles feature. You can turn this feature on and off as required. If you disable the User Profiles feature, and later enable it again, all your previous settings are restored and enforced. In Kofax Capture, users or groups can be given profiles that regulate access to the modules and batch classes. The profile also defines access to various administrative utilities.

Note If you enable profiles, you may be asked for a password when starting Kofax Capture modules. Kofax Capture cannot recover or reset these passwords. If you forget your password, you need to contact Support personnel.

A user profile is a collection of permission and assignment settings that are assigned to an individual Kofax Capture user. A group profile is a collection of permission and assignment settings that are assigned to a group. A group may consist of any number of Kofax Capture users, and users can be members of any number of groups.

Groups can be assigned the same types of access rights as users, and all members inherit the group’s rights. Because these rights are inherited, you can quickly change the settings for all the members in a group simply by editing the group profile. For large groups, this simplifies the maintenance of user rights and ensures consistency.

You can also link Kofax Capture to your operating system users and groups.

Note An individual user of Kofax Capture has all the permissions granted by the user profile plus those in all the assigned group profiles.
