Passwords and overall privileges are assigned to users on the WebAdmin User property page. This is described in detail in WebAdmin User .
If a password has been assigned to a WebAdmin user, then the user can only log on to the WebAdmin application if they enter the correct password on the login page. When defining a new user, a user with the master privilege may define a password for this user directly. It is possible to change the password of the current user at any time, or to delete it by entering a blank password, on the property page for this WebAdmin user.
The overall privileges that can be assigned to a WebAdmin user on the associated property page cover the so-called master privilege as well as read and write authorizations. "Overall" means that any authorization assigned here applies to all UTM applications and their associated objects.
Only users with write privileges can make administrative changes to openUTM applications via WebAdmin (create or delete objects, modify objects, establish connections, etc.). Users without this privilege can only view the data and objects of UTM applications. If a user does not have write privileges, the write actions are deactivated in the menus and are therefore unavailable.
The following overall privileges exist:
- Read authorization for administration
A user with this privilege may view but not modify the administration data of all UTM applications and UTM objects. The Command mode may not be used.
- Write authorization for administration
This privilege includes read authorization for administration. A user with this privilege may view and modify the administration data of all UTM applications and UTM objects.
- Master privilege
A user with this privilege has all the above privileges and can also create, modify or delete hosts, UTM applications, UPIC connections, Collections and WebAdmin users in the configuration database.
