6.1 Understanding RADview User Security Levels
RADview/OV, when running on a UNIX based operating system, supports the
users and permissions security feature. This section presents an overview of the
four user security levels: Monitor, Technician, Operator, and Administrator. The
user security levels are managed by RADview-EMS/NGN via the Security > User
Manager menu path. For further details, refer to the RADview-EMS/NGN NMS
User’s Manual.
This security feature defines the following different types of users:
• Monitor
• Technician
• Operator
• Administrator
The above list is written in order of increasing access rights; the Monitor has the
fewest access rights and the Administrator has the most access rights. The more
privileged access level has access to all of the features to which the less
privileged access level has access.
Each type of user has a different level of permission to access LA-210 application
data. The permissions are per menu and per dialog box. Some users have
permission for read and write (RW) access to all of the menus and dialog boxes;
others have only partial access. Some users have read-only (RO) access or are
prohibited access to some of the menus and dialog boxes.
For example: a Technician level user has more access rights than a Monitor level
user. Therefore, if a Monitor level user has write (Set) permission to the data in a
specific dialog box, then a Technician level user also has write permission.
