Access Control

SmartView works with role-based access control. Within this area, a user with the required rights can set up different user profiles with the corresponding rights to limit the access to the system to only specific required areas. You will find this menu under the ‘Administrator’ tab under ‘Access control’.

If it’s then wished to create a new policy you can do so by pressing the button. The user will then be greeted by a new window where it’s possible to set a name as well as select the sublicense to which the profile should be applied.

Once the license is selected the window will expand and offer a wide range of selection possibilities to customize permissions to different areas. It’s also possible to set the profile for license administrators. If this is done the profile will contain the maximal possible permissions as administrators have access to all areas. In addition, the level of interaction is based on none-view-create-update-delete and if a higher level is selected the user will automatically receive all the lower levels as well.

Once all the required adjustments are done the changes can be saved by pressing

Once a configuration policy is created it’s possible to edit it in retrospect. In addition it is possible to see who received a certain role when within a configuration policy by pressing the button located at the top right of the view. This will open a new view that displays a list of all users that have this role assigned.

To make it easier to work with multiple sub-licenses, it possible to duplicate a permission role. Duplicating it will prefill all values based on the role that was duplicated and allows to
modify the prefilled values.
