Configuring Users
Configuring Roles
A user must log in and be authenticated to use the OneSight
Console. Each user is assigned to a user group and within that user
group, is assigned a role. A user group is a hierarchical structure
representing the user’s organization. The user group determines
which objects, such as monitors, profiles, etc., that the users in the
user group can access. For example, engineering will have different
access requirements than marketing.
The user’s role determines individual permissions, such as view
access, reporting access, and configuration access to the objects
available to the user group. For example, an administrator will have
different access requirements than an operator.
In addition, individual objects (such as profiles, monitors, etc.) can
control which user groups have read, write, and delete access to
them. This is done using the Access Control tab for that object.
The user’s role determines individual permissions, such as view
access, reporting access, and configuration access to the objects
available to the user group. OneSight comes with four default roles:
Administrator, Analyst, Business, and Operator. These roles cannot
be modified or deleted. Use the Role editor to add, clone, modify,
and remove roles.
To add roles:
1. Click the Configure menu.
