Managing User Access

Because Security Reporting Center can analyze a wide range of information about your enterprise network, it also provides a layered system of user permissions. System and Team Admins can assign varying levels of user access settings to provide useful information sharing while guarding confidential information.

User Rights and Team Rights

User and team rights control two functions: the creation and editing of further users and teams, and access rights to profiles. Rights to each individual profile are assigned in the profile settings, using the appropriate Reporting module.

A user is an individual with access rights to items within Security Reporting Center. When users are created in the Administration module, they have a specific level of access rights to Security Reporting Center objects such as users, teams, and profiles.

Adding Teams

Teams are added via the Teams panels on the Administration module. You can add members to teams via the Teams panel or as you create users in the Users panel.

You can add or edit teams if you have System Admin user rights or Team Admin rights within a team.

To add a new team, use the following steps.

1. On the left pane of Security Reporting Center, click Administration | Teams.

2. Click New Team. The General panel is shown.

3. In the Team Name text box, type the name of the new team.

4. Click Next. The Preferences panel is shown.

5. Choose whether to use the system default time zone, or to override it for this team. The default time zone determines when scheduled events run.

   • To use the system default, click Use the system default time zone.

   • To override the system default and assign this team a custom time zone, click Override the system default time zone and choose a time zone.

6. Specify the period after which user sessions expire for users in this team.

   • To use the default session timeout interval specified in the Administration options, select Use the system default session timeout value.

   • To specify a different session timeout interval, select Override the system default for users in this team and type an interval from 1 to 9999 minutes in the text box provided. If a user in this team remains inactive for this number of minutes while running the user interface or viewing on-demand reports, the user's session ends. This setting can be overridden by the individual user's settings.

7. Click Next. A summary of the Team settings is shown.

8. Click Save to save your settings. Click Previous to go back and change your settings. Click Cancel to return to the List of Teams without adding a team.

Adding Users to Teams

When you add users to teams, you also determine their rights within the team. Team rights give different members of a team different levels of access to profiles and events, as well as different rights to modify users and teams.

User are added to the team and given user rights, from the Team Membership panel.

1. Click the Edit icon for the team you want to add users to, or click on the team name.

3. Click Add. The Add Users to Team panel opens.

4. Select or de-select the users.

5. Click Done to save your changes, or click Cancel to abandon them. You are returned to the Team Membership panel.

Repeat these steps for each user you want to add.

To remove a user from the team, use the following steps.

1. Select a user from the list on the Team Members tab.

2. Click Remove.

Repeat these steps for each user you want to remove.

To view or change a user's access rights, use the following steps.

   • Team Admin
     The user can add or remove team members and create, modify, or delete profiles to which the team has access.
