Creating Security Groups

A security group defines security rights that you can assign to users or groups of users at your facility. For each security group you can assign the users in the group and the rights that those users will have. If a user is included in more than one group then they will have the combined security rights of all those groups.

Click Security Groups and Rights.

Security Groups are displayed in the left-hand pane. When you select a security group the users and rights assigned to it are displayed in two separate tabs in the right-hand pane.

Click the or in the lower-left corner of the screen to create or modify a security group.

The Security Group window opens. Assigned rights are displayed in the left-hand pane and available rights are displayed in the right-hand pane.

If creating a security group enter a name for it and click OK.

Select the Security Rights tab in the right-hand pane and enable the check boxes next to the security rights that the users will have.

Select the Users tab in the right-hand pane and enable the check boxes next to the users who will be included in this security group.

The rights and users are now assigned to the security group.

Creating Users

Enter the unique Inspect Username (Maximum length is 20 characters).

Click Change Password and enter the password.

The password strength must be moderate or higher. Password strength is based on length and complexity (use of different characters, casing, etc.). The maximum length for a password is 20 characters.

The password must be unique as it acts as a user identifier in the data collection applications.
