Locations and users

Locations in Content Manager represent people or places that you can associate with records, but also with each other.

Content Manager enables you to capture each Location's details, like name, address, telephone numbers and email addresses, and also communications with these Locations.

Every Content Manager user is also a Location and the administrator uses the Location function to assign a login name, permissions, a security level and caveats to the user.

Locations are often groups that have other Locations as members, which can be associated using different relationships, e.g. Member Of, Supervised By, Administrator Of.

This enables users to use group Locations like any other Locations that represents an individual, e.g. to make them Assignee or Owner of a record or grant permissions to.

Typically, the Content Manager administrator maintains an accurate list of Locations in Content Manager, keeping Location associations up-to-date, creating new Locations, deactivating unused Locations and removing access for unauthorised Locations.

The Content Manager installation creates the Location and user TRIMServices. This location cannot be viewed by clients and hence cannot be modified because Content Manager uses it for some functions.
