User and Group Management

The CommandCenter application allows access rights to be granted via user groups. These groups can be configured by the administrator with this dialog to have access to different functions within the CommandCenter application and also control of the system configured from the Control Exclusion dialog.

Users can be created and allocated to these groups, giving individual password controlled access to the application. This dialog allows new users and groups to be created, edited and viewed.

The dialog consists of two tabs one for editing Users and the other for editing Groups.

User Dialog

This dialog allows users to be added, deleted or edited. A user has to be allocated to a group and given a password, the password for a user can be blank if desired, but no protection is given in this case for someone logging in as this user. The user inherits the access rights for the group that it is allocated to. There is no limit to the number of users within the system.

It is recommended that once the application is installed and working the Admin password is changed so that other users will not be able to easily gain access to this level of control.

Group Dialog

This dialog allows groups to be added, deleted or edited. The group determines the access rights of the user allocated to it both with this dialog and the Control Exclustion dialog. This dialog controls the access to operations within the CommandCenter application such as the ability to program cards, restore, configure the SCP08 panels, etc. while the Control Exclusion dialog controls the access to the cards.

By default the application creates 3 user groups named Admin, Engineering, and Operator. The Admin group cannot be deleted or edited.

The Engineering group has by default been given all the rights of an Administrator apart from configuring how the application is configured. The Operator group by default has been given no rights other than the GUI control and monitoring of cards. The restrictions on each group can be changed by selecting a group, pressing edit and then changing the access to the permissions. Once the changes have been made press the Apply button to save them to the database and exit the dialog using the Close button.

There can only be a maximum of 64 groups defined in the system. Please note a group cannot be deleted when it has users allocated to it. You may add an unlimited number of users to a group. Each group can have limited access to the CommandCenter application based on the restrictions set for that Group. Each Group can also be restricted in access to individual control level on a device, using Control Exclusions.
