User guide

Auditors have full access to the Reports tab and limited access to the System tab. Auditors can
view asset and usage reports as well as manage the event log and data log repository. Auditors
can also perform event log system tasks.
DSView administrators have full access and control in the DSView software. They have the
permissions of all other roles plus the permissions of the DSView administrator role. A DSView
administrator manages global system properties, hub and spoke server replication, all system
tasks and licensing. DSView administrators also manage IP addresses and port settings for hub
and spoke servers, appliance firmware and file repository and appliance plug-in settings. The
DSView administrator role should be very limited.
User administrators have full access to the Users tab and limited access to the Units and
Systems tabs. User administrators can create and manage users, groups of users and set user
permissions. They also define and maintain user-unit permissions and perform user and
permission related system tasks. A User administrator can import user groups from external
authentication systems and they can also associate the DSView software with the following
external authentication systems:
• Active Directory
• LDAP
• TACACS
• RADIUS
• RSA SecurID
Users are the most common type of account. Users have an individual profile tab and are
limited to the Units and System tabs. A user can configure basic tasks for the units to which he
has the rights to. Users only have the permissions that have been granted by the DSView or
User administrator.
Adding User-defined User Groups
If you are using DSView software internal authentication, you may add your own custom user-
defined user groups and then add other users that use DSView internal authentication as
members.
External user-defined user groups (on external authentication servers) may be added, but their
membership is not controlled by the DSView software.
NOTE: You must have DSView software administrator or user administrator rights to add user-defined user
groups.
