Security Manager

QAntrol uses a Role based security model for Users.

This means that each User belongs to a Role that has permissions to carry out only those Tasks that are required of them.

 

The Security Manager can be found at: Configuration Menu » Security Manager.

 

The Security Manager shows the following Main items in the list on the left:

•Users

•Operations

•Roles

 

By selecting each one the List on the right is populated with the items of the selection.

EG clicking on Users will display a list of ALL configured users for this Project, clicking on Roles will display a list of ALL configured Roles for this Project.

 

Adding / Editing a new User

 

Users are Contacts that are already configured that have been given access to log into QAntrol. Therefore before adding a new user you must first add all users as Contacts to a company in the Companies and Contacts section. (refer to Companies and Contacts) - these contacts are usually added under the Main Contractor's Company record, but can also be from other companies.

 

To add a new User first select Users from the list on the Left, then click Add and then select Add User, this will open the User Editor.

To edit an existing User first select Users from the list on the Left, then select the user to edit then click Edit.
