User roles
Operators can view their own jobs and additionally can have access rights for
certain (or all) Submit points and Checkpoints. In Checkpoints routing decisions
Operator
can be taken for all jobs waiting in the Checkpoint (regardless of how they got
there or who submitted them).
If the user is an operator (on all Switch servers the user is connected to), the user
interface elements are no longer solely focused on dealing with jobs (like in Switch
09) but the new SwitchClient also offers a message view to operators.
The toolbar now contains a number of view buttons on the left, to switch between
the jobs view and message view. The messages in the log only concern information
and error messages for the jobs that the operator has access to.
The customer is a new concept in Switch and is introduced to improve collaboration
with PitStop Connect and web clients (using Client SDK).
Being a customer changes SwitchClient user interface to a job view only where
users can see the active jobs they submitted or the jobs derived form the parent
Customer
job they submitted (example: customer submits an InDesign file and wishes to
approve the resulting PDF). There is no message view.
Being a job manager does not change the user interface as described for the
operator. However the Content pane shows the jobs and the message view shows
Job
manager
the information and error messages of the jobs for all users in the group to which
the job manager belongs.
The administrator has full access rights and can not only see all jobs
but also the full administrative interface in SwitchClient.
Administrator
Configuring access rights
The system administrator can configure SwitchClient user access rights in PowerSwitch/ FullSwitch
to help ensure that jobs are submitted and reviewed by the appropriate users. User access rights
can be configured in the PowerSwitch/ FullSwitch Users pane.
Access rights
Distinct access rights are assigned to a group of users (see configuring user groups). Each user is
part of exactly one group (see configuring users), which indirectly determines the access rights
assigned to the user.
There are distinct access rights for:
• Accessing a Submit point.
• Accessing a Checkpoint.
