Role-Based Access Security Management
IT Assistant provides security through role-based access control (RBAC),
authentication, and encryption.
Role-Based Access Control
RBAC manages security by determining the operations that can be executed
by persons in particular roles. Each user is assigned one or more roles, and
each role is assigned one or more user privileges that are permitted to users in
that role. With RBAC, security administration corresponds closely to an
organization's structure.
User Privileges
IT Assistant grants different access rights based on the user's assigned group
privileges. The three user levels are: User, Power User, and Administrator.
Users have read-only access to all IT Assistant information.
Power Users can create tasks for immediate execution. They cannot modify
discovery configuration settings, modify alert management settings, or
schedule or delete tasks.
Administrators can perform all IT Assistant tasks and functions.
