User account management

Genic DataManager allows for a ‘single sign-on’ authentication method, which will use the user id and domain of the current logged in user as authentication credentials. The credentials will be passed to the Genic DataManager security component in the format USERID@DOMAIN and used to manage the access rights for that user.

Additionally, users can be authenticated using user name and encrypted password server authentication.

Entitlement – access control

The access control is segregated into resource level and workgroup level.

A resource consists of multiple models or actions or groups that were given read/write access. These resources are then mapped to different workgroup. Each workgroup may be mapped to multiple resources. GDM enables the administrator to assign individual users to different work groups. Users who belonged to the workgroup will be able to access any of models, actions or groups residing in that resource.
