User accounts provide a basic level of access to the clients, customers and partners of an organization. Each user account has a home directory into which users can upload files for the organization and into which the organization copies files for the user. Through the use of secure sockets, an encrypted channel is used to transport files between a user's home folder and the user's local computer across the Internet.

Users can be granted additional privileges to read files from organizational distribution folder.

A user cannot view the files or activities of other users.

Each user has online access to an audit of every activity that took place against their files or account. In any active organization most MOVEit Transfer accounts are user accounts.

File Rights: Users can transfer files between their local computer and their home folder. If granted permission, a user can read files from one or more distribution folders.

Administrative Rights: Users can track their own files and see when changes were made to their account details. Users can change their own password, contact information, and email address.

Examples:

  • Max is an employee in the human resources department of Argyle Industries. Argyle Industries uses Woodstock First Bank to process its payroll. Max wants to securely send his highly sensitive payroll file to Woodstock First Bank. Max should not be allowed to see the payroll files sent in by other companies. Max is an ideal candidate for a user account.
  • Fred is a customer of Plaid Software who purchased Kilt software and related support. Plaid Software wants to make the latest version of Kilt available to its customers at all times so it sets up a "Kilt" distribution folder and allows Kilt licensees to download files from this folders. Fred is an ideal candidate for a user account with additional rights to read from the Kilt distribution folder.
