Module "User management"
The standard installation of VisionR includes default user groups with read and write access to the included modules. Custom user groups can be easily created. User access is role based and hierarchical. On creating a new user group existing access rights are inherited from existing ones. This makes the whole process of managing user access rights very simple.
Description
VisionR has a role based access management. Users have user accounts, which are grouped in user groups. User groups are structured hierarchically, so that access rights can be inherited. This saves time, when setting detailed access rights. The standard installation of VisionR contains a number of predefined user roles. Custom user groups, containing additional access rights can be easy created and managed by the customer. There are predefined authentication mechanisms, such as: login form, automatic login over Active Directory Server, login over URL string.
