File Access Manager Website Dashboard

This section describes the Dashboard in the File Access Manager website, including its capabilities and navigation procedures.

General

Traditionally, IT personnel or security personnel determine which individuals can access specific operations on specific resources. However, since they are not always directly involved with those resources on a daily basis, they often rely on other people to decide who should have access to each resource, or type of resources.

Users who work with resources on a daily basis can best determine which users would be the most likely data owners of specific resources. These are not necessarily IT personnel or even project managers.

This dashboard makes it easier for IT and security personnel to enlist the cooperation of resource users to indicate which resources are at risk.

This screen has two tabs:

  • Administrator

  • Data owner

These tabs are accessible according to the user’s capabilities. By default, they are available to administrators, and data owners respectively. An administrator who is also a data owner will see both tabs.
