A security profile is the
list of rights a user derives
from the security groups to which the user belongs. The user rights
define the ability of a user to access asset management system applications
and to perform specific application functions. You can view a user
security profile list in the Security Profile tab in the Users application.
Before you can view a user
security profile list, you
must first
create a user in the Users application. You must then assign the user
to a security group and allocate group rights in the Security Groups
application. When you assign a user to more than one group, the user
inherits the security rights from the assigned groups.
You can
use the Security Groups application to define user rights
according to the following asset management system security components:
- Site
- Application
- Storeroom
- Labor
- GL Component
- Limit and tolerance
- Data restriction
By default, the asset management system includes the following
user rights:
- The ability to change and a password at login,
even when a password
expires
- The ability to access the asset management system
start center
If your implementation uses a Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) directory server to authenticate an external directory, do
not use the asset management system security settings to perform the
following functions:
- Self registration
- Password and
password hint changes
