Security principles
As Spraytec users may have varying skill levels, user access can be limited so that
certain functions such as editing SOPs, deleting records and editing results are
reserved for specific users only.
Administrators, users and permissions
One or more persons are set up as administrator. The administrator then
controls access to the instrument by defining User groups and Permissions:
.
A User group is one or more persons that have the same access rights.
.
Permissions are the access rights that are allowed for each user group;
these range from allowing SOPs to be edited to disabling view selection.
The administrator:
.
Creates users – normally they assign each user a password, although this is
not mandatory. If passwords are not set up, the user just has to type their
username to log in, otherwise they must provide the password too.
.
Creates user groups.
.
Adds users to one or more user groups.
After installation
The first time the software is run the security system will be disabled and an
administrator user and administrators group will be created by the system. This is
so at least one user will have permission to configure the security system.
