7. Accounts (Dedicated Server)

The Accounts tab allows you to manage user accounts in a dedicated server environment.

Note: The Accounts tab is only available to users with administrator privileges (Owner or Admin) in the dedicated server version. It is not displayed in the cloud version. This tab will not be displayed if you do not have administrator privileges.

About Account Permission and Sharing Privilege

Handbook X Coordinator has two distinct permission systems: Account Permission and Sharing Privilege. These are independent concepts used for different purposes.

Account Permission (Organization Level)

Account permission indicates the permission level across the entire organization. It is set in the Accounts tab and determines the scope of system-wide operations.

Sharing Privilege (Workgroup Level)

Sharing privilege indicates the permission for book sharing within each workgroup. It is set in workgroup member management and determines the scope of sharing operations within that workgroup.

Relationship Between the Two Permissions

• Account permission and sharing privilege are set independently
• The same user can have "Normal" account permission but be a "Manage sharing privilege" member in a specific workgroup
• Conversely, even with "Admin" account permission, they have no privileges in workgroups they haven't joined
• The actual scope of available operations is determined by considering both permissions

Example: If User A has "Normal" account permission and "Manage sharing privilege" in Workgroup X: - Accounts tab: Not displayed (account permission is not "Admin" or higher) - Sharing settings in Workgroup X: Can manage (has manage sharing privilege) - Member invitation in Workgroup X: Possible (has manage sharing privilege)

For details, see "About Sharing Privileges" in 6.6 Member Management.
