The following terms are used in the Administration Portal documentation.
Account
In this documentation, "account" refers to the Hyland Experience account for a particular customer or organization. The term "user account" or "user" refers to a user account.
Application
An application allows users to complete tasks related to their roles. For information about the types of applications you can manage in the Administration Portal, see Applications.
Environment
An environment is a mechanism for data isolation within your Hyland Experience account. When a subscription is set up, it is assigned to an environment to indicate where subscription data should be stored.
A Hyland Experience account can have multiple environments. For example, your account could have separate environments for testing and production. Users and groups can be given access to applications in any environment associated with your account. You do not have to configure duplicate users or groups for each additional environment.
Role
A role is a set of permissions granted to a user group. These permissions govern the actions that user group members can take within an application.
Subscription
A subscription provides access to one or more applications or services. Each subscription must be assigned to an environment to store data for the associated applications or services.
Billing information for specific subscriptions is beyond the scope of this documentation.
User Portal
The User Portal allows users to access Hyland Experience applications that have been made available to them based on their assigned roles. For more information, see Applications and User Access.
