Security Group Configuration
This tutorial demonstrates how to establish permission-based access control in Hudu through security groups. The video walks through creating groups based on organizational roles (such as tiered technician levels or departments), configuring company access using allow lists or deny lists, and setting login schedules to restrict access to specific time windows. Groups serve as the foundation for controlling what users can view, edit, and delete within the documentation platform, with a default group automatically assigned to new users who haven't been placed in a specific group.
User Roles and Permissions
Hudu offers six distinct user role levels ranging from portal members (free end-user accounts) through spectators, authors, editors, admins, and super admins. Each role carries different capabilities for reading, editing, and administering documentation. Beyond role-based permissions, administrators can apply granular restrictions at both the group level and individual item level, blocking access to specific passwords, knowledge base articles, custom asset layouts, or entire client spaces. The platform provides visibility into who has access to any given item through a quick access review feature.
