Users and User Groups are the building blocks of authentication and authorization for Toolpack systems.
The proper implementation of Users and User Groups increases efficiency and reduce costs by:
- Reducing Human Error,
- Mitigating Risks,
- Improving Security,
- Speeding up and Simplifying Maintenance and Debugging.
Users
Each person that uses Toolpack Web Portal should be assigned their own user name and password.
User Groups
User Groups define a list of authorized actions applied to each item in the left-hand navigation menu of the Web Portal.
There are 3 authorization levels per resource:
Read/Write Full access to the resource. Read Only view access to the resource. The action commands will be hidden. None No access to the resource. It won't be displayed in the left menu.
Each User needs to be in a User Group. To modify a user's access to a resource, the User Group is modified or a new User Group is created with the appropriate authorization.
The Admin User Group is not modifiable, and each User in this group has access to all the resources of the Web Portal.
