Configure Role Based Access Control for Users
-
Click 'Assets' > 'User Management' > 'Role Management'.
-
User privileges depend on the roles assigned to them. Admins can create roles with different access privileges and assign them to users as required. A single user can be assigned to any number of roles.
-
You can restrict a role to specific device groups. Staff can only manage the devices of groups allowed by their role.
-
You can also create roles with read-only privileges. These allow staff to view assigned interfaces but not make changes.
The role management area has two tabs:
-
Roles - View and edit each role's permissions. You can also create custom roles here.
-
Users - View users and assign them to roles
-
The 'Roles' interface allows you to create and manage user roles.
-
Each role defines a staff member's rights to access Xcitium modules and to manage users/devices belonging to different groups. You can restrict a role to manage specific device groups.
-
Xcitium platform ships with five roles, 'Account Admin', 'Administrators', 'Technician' ,'Login Permission' and 'Users'.
-
The 'Account Admin' role can be viewed but not edited. The permissions in the other roles can be modified. You can also create custom roles according to your requirements.
-
Custom roles and built-in roles are available for selection when adding a new user.
-
Admins can add or remove roles at any time. You can also change the role of any user at any time.
-
New users are assigned the 'User' role by default. However, you have the option to make any role the default.
