Configuring roles
NOTE: Only DS-System administrators can modify the roles.
Initially, DS-Operator only permits logins from “super users” (that is root for Linux, or Administrator for Windows). To enhance security, these users cannot manage the DS-System. They only have the right to add or edit roles for other users or groups.
This feature allows you to restrict permissions based on the roles assigned to a user (or a user’s group). For example, you may not want a user that does daily maintenance to see or change the customer or DS-Client profile information.
The following roles have been defined in the DS-System:
Assign Roles Only – Specific role reserved for members of the ‘Administrators’ group (on Windows) or the ‘root’ super-user (on Linux).
Data Operator – Role with rights to manage data.
• Performs daily maintenance work.
• Views reports.
• Performs customer and DS-Client management work.
• Manages DR Drills (if available).
Account Manager – Role with rights to manage the account profiles.
• Creates, updates, or deletes customers or DS-Clients.
Export CRI – Role with rights to export a DS-Client .CRI file.
View Logs – Role with rights to view the logs stored on the DS-System.
• All other roles can view logs. This role is intended for users who should be limited to only viewing logs.
NOTE: You can only access this dialog box if you are logged in as a member of the ‘Administrators’ group (on Windows) or the ‘root’ super-user (on Linux).
To assign roles for users who login through DS-Operator:
1. On the Setup menu, click Roles.
2. To add, click Add.
To edit, select a user or group and click Edit.
3. Configure the roles for the user or group.
View Logs | Role with rights to view the logs stored on the DS-System. • All other roles can view logs. This role is intended for users who should be limited to only viewing logs. |
Data Operator | User has permissions to: • Perform daily maintenance work. • View reports • Perform customer and DS-Client management • Manage DR Drills (if available) |
Account Manager | User has permissions to: • Create, update, or delete customers or DS-Clients. |
Export CRI | User has permissions to: • Export DS-Client .CRI (Customer Registration Information) file. |
4. Click OK.
NOTE: You cannot assign roles to users from the ‘Administrators’ group (on Windows) or the ‘root’ super-user (on Linux). Even if you do, DS-Operator will ignore all additional permissions and only allow that user to edit roles for other users.
