Managing Users
The Users area of the website is where access to the administration website is provisioned. When the Scheduler is installed the system automatically adds the windows login name of the user that ran the installation program to the list of allowed users. Any additional users that are to have access to the administrative website need to be configured from this area. The creation of new users in the system is essentially just a mapping of a windows login to a desired system role. When logging into the website, a user can simply enter their windows credentials to authenticate. Users in the administration website can serve in one or more of three possible roles:
- Administrator: Can view/create/modify all data in all functional areas and can administer system users.
- Reader: Can view all data in all functional areas but cannot create/modify data or administer system users. Readers cannot manually trigger job execution or pause/terminate currently executing jobs.
- Writer: Can view/create/modify all data in all functional areas but cannot administer new/existing users.
User Listing Screen
The user listing screen.
This screen displays all of the users that are currently setup for access to the system. The screen consists of a grid containing the information about the users.
This includes the windows login of the user as well as the role(s) that the user is setup for. Also, audit details are displayed for each row.
When text is entered in the box at the top of the grid labeled Search, the list is filtered to display only the rows for which a column has content containing the entered text. Clicking on any column header will sort the list on that column, and clicking again on a sorted column header will sort it in descending order (multi-column sorting is not available). Clicking on the link in the Name column of the row will navigate to the User Detail Screen where the user's roles can be augmented or revoked.
If the desired user is not located in the grid, the user can be added by clicking the Create New User button at the top right of the screen.
User Detail Screen
The user detail screen.
This screen is used to display the details about an existing user or to allow the addition of a new user to the system. The fields on this screen are simple and
straightforward. The Name field is the windows login name of the user. If the machine hosting the Coordinator is on a domain then the format of this value should
be domain\username. The Roles checkboxes are how system roles are attributed to the current user. For descriptions of the roles and how they translate into system
permissions, see the above permissions chart.
