The previous exercise explained Team Users and Partition Users. Users are managed in the Configuration section of Portal in the Users panel (not covered by these exercises):

You can read more about the roles in Hopp here: Roles in Hopp authorization but for the sake of this exercise, here's a summary.

Authorization

There are 2 major levels of authorization:

Team: Global authorizations including high-level authorization of Hopp administrators, operators and team members. These authorizations are global for all migration projects
External: Project authorizations are effective only for specific projects. External users must explicitly be authorized for specific projects/partitions

Terminology: External users that have been authorized for a given Partition are also referred to as Partition Users

Team Authorizations

The Team authorizations are:

Administrator	Full authorization for all actions in the Portal, including access to the Configuration. In your Trainee setup, you have Administration access. Administrators have the All Partitions access and do not appear in Team member drop downs in Portal Operations and cannot be assigned as Team Anchor on Events
Operator	Similar to Administrator, but Operators cannot access Hopp Administration
Team and Manager	These authorizations are used for members of the Migration team. Users with one of these authorizations will appear in the Team Anchor drop-down and have the All Partitions access in the Portal. Manager gives a bit extra access to the Project Administration for all projects to assign Partition Users

External Authorizations

You authorize External users for projects and partitions on the project itself. Here on the Workshop Project:

What happened here?

This exercise did not really ask you to do anything. But for completeness, we wanted to show where and how authorizations are maintained.
