Page 205: User And Rights Management
8.2.5 User and rights management The user and rights management of enCore devices makes it possible to determine which changes users are able to make on the device in a very detailed manner. Rights are managed centrally via user profiles. Various users can be allocated to each profile. Since the users inherit the rights of their profile, changes to the rights of a user profile always automatically affect all users with this profile.
Page 206 Configuration and analysis software enSuite Managing user profiles and users The enCore authorization concept is based on role- based access control. Up to 6 different roles can be created with user profiles which are available in each para- meterization. The rights are allocated by profile. The following figure gives an initial over- view of the user profiles;...
Page 207 Configuration and analysis software enSuite Standard login of standard users There are super users in every parameterization. The enCore device creates these users with the following access names and blank initial passwords at first startup: Administrator: admin1 Main users: su1 to su5 ("Super User") These users are always present and cannot be deleted.
Page 208 Configuration and analysis software enSuite Adding a new user 01 Click the button. Click the button. 02 Enter a permissible user name into the Create user dialog, e.g., J S m i t h . Permissible user names When choosing a user name, please note: The name can be made up of 3 to 10 permissible characters.
Page 209 Configuration and analysis software enSuite Managing access rights (administrator only) Access rights determine which parameters or system settings a user may or may not change on the device. The access rights are managed exclusively by the administrator in the expert mode. Rights are assigned per user profile.
Page 210 Configuration and analysis software enSuite The toolbar is divided into two and is made up of up to seven buttons: Buttons 1 through 5: Rights for user profiles 1 Each button is allocated a unique symbol for user profiles 1 through 5. The order corresponds to the position of the profiles in the user management.
Page 211 Configuration and analysis software enSuite Reducing the toolbar in the “Rights” column To reduce the toolbar for the assignment of the profile rights to display only the security settings open node <Device> and clear the checkbox Edit user rights. You can assign user rights in a targeted manner for individual parameters and, de- pending on the context, also for whole areas or whole tabs.
Page 212 Configuration and analysis software enSuite The setting will be adopted for the entire tab, shown here using the example of user profile 3 : Fig. 8-25: Changing rights for an entire tab – example Flow direction manager The inherited right for an area or parameter can in this case only be disabled at the tab level but not for individual areas or parameters.
