Role-Based Access Control

Capabilities can be created and configured to fit your needs. This is best done during the File Access Manager installation phase.

Note:  Except as stated above, capabilities apply only to the interface in which they are assigned.

At least one super user (a user with the capability of Administrator) should be defined as an Administrator, with access to both the File Access Manager Administrative Client and File Access Manager website systems. You must first define an Administrator with the assigned capability of Administrator in the File Access Manager Administrative Client before that Administrator can access File Access Manager website.

After logging into the File Access Manager website, an Administrator can assign different capabilities to users in the File Access Manager website. This is done by completing the steps below.

In the Administrative Client:

1. Log in as the system user.

2. Create administrator user or users.

3. Log in as an administrator user.

4. Change the system password.

5. Optionally, you may now go the File Access Manager Database and create custom capabilities.

In the File Access Manager website:

1. Log in as an administrator user.

2. Assign user access within the web client.

3. Manage capabilities by assigning functionality and screen access

4. Manage user scope by defining the applications and directories a user is allowed to access.

Return to the Administrative Client if you want to complete the optional step of assigning user access, including roles (assigning functionality) and data roles (defining valid applications), within the Administrative Client.
