InfoFlex Modules
User Management
The User Management module is used for creating users and for controlling system and account policies within InfoFlex. These policies enable tight control over users’ accounts and enhance the security of InfoFlex. These policies are divided into 2 distinct areas: Individual user settings and System-wide policies.
Individual user settings determine which users can login to a database, their passwords, and what permissions they have to read, change and delete information in InfoFlex. A user’s permissions can be set individually or for ease of administration, a user can be assigned to a group. Permissions that are defined for a group are applied to all users within the group.
System-wide policies apply to all users of an InfoFlex database. Different databases can have different policies. Policies can be defined for passwords, for account lockout and other system policies.
Module Features
- Defining User Accounts
- User accounts control the functionality that a user has access to as well as the data objects. Access to Data Views and other elements can be granted at 4 levels: Read, Change, Create and Delete. User Accounts together with Data Views provide a highly secure environment ensuring that users only see and do what they are authorised to.
- Defining User Groups
- User Groups allow the control of access and permissions within InfoFlex to be applied to a group of users rather than just to individual users. This is designed to support the InfoFlex System Managers security role.
- Monitoring Current Logons
- The InfoFlex system manager can view all users currently logged on to the system. This function together with the Audit Trail module provides secure system management tools to track access to both the system and the data.
- Setting System-Wide Policies
- Policies controlling data synchronisation, account lockout, passwords (size, duration, history) and audit trails can all be set with the User Management module.
