Security Manager

Initial Set-up

When the designated Security Manager first logs into the Rules Palette and opens Palette Security via the AS Admin Explorer, SecurityManager is the default role. This role cannot be deleted and has security rights to add other users with specific roles and privileges. The Security Manager will also be able to apply roles to new users in the User Security window.

Once the Security Manager creates the necessary additional roles and users and assigns those roles to the users, then login information can be sent to the users. New users can then log in to the Rules Palette using the username and passwords provided to them by the Security Manager. They will have access to the specific areas of the Palette granted to them based on the role they have been assigned.

The Security Manager can also modify the roles and privileges previously assigned to users at any time by logging in to the Palette and selecting the user or role in the User Security or Security Role windows. Modifications can be made and saved by selecting the Save All button. This will save the modifications to the database.

Note: When using the Save All button, changes to Security will be saved to the database. In addition, any panes open for configuration with changes will be saved to your local drive.

Assigning a New SecurityManager

Only one Security Manager role can be assigned. If a different user needs to be assigned this role, then the current SecurityManager must first downgrade his user ID to a different role and then assign a new user as the Security Manager. Remember to select Save All after completion. The Save All will not take effect unless there is only one Security Manager.
