Administrator - Screen Shot Gallery   

 

The Administrator provides zoological and science center facilities with a flexible and secure User Login and Rights and Permissions framework.

 

    User Login ...

 
       
 
The User Login is based on an industry-standard login mechanism.  When the User logs in for the first time, they will be prompted to change the default password.  When the User wants to change their password, they have two options ... 1) ask the Facility Records Management Administrator to change their password, or 2) enter the default password at login and the system will force them to create a new password.
 
 
    User Profiles ...
 

 
The Users and Groups Profile Workshop provides the features and functionality to create and manage User Profiles.  By default, new User Rights and Permissions are cloned from the NewUser Template, however, you have the flexibility to clone any User Profile to create a new User.

Administrator users have the flexibility to enable / disable a User's Profile, as well as change a User's password, or reset the User's password to the default value.

NOTE:  ALL passwords are stored as encrypted values.

 
 
    User Rights and Permissions  ( Access and ReadOnly options ) ...
 
 
Each User Profile contains a set of Rights and Permissions options.  The above display presents the Access and Read Only options for Applications, Menus and Data Entry forms.  The basic rules are:
  • Access can be controlled at the Application level ... i.e., A User can be granted or denied access to a specific application component.

  • Access can be controlled at the Menu or Data Form level ... i.e., A User can be granted or denied access to a specific data entry form, such as the Financial Ledger.

  • A User can be assigned Read Only privileges to a specific application component or data entry form.  A good example of this would be a Staff member (i.e., Educational Outreach) who needs to use the data in a referential manner, but does not have a requirement to insert, edit or delete data ... simply assign a Read Only attribute to their Data Records permission and they will be able to see, but not alter, any of the data.

 
 
    User Rights and Permissions  ( Data Tables : Insert, Edit and Delete options ) ...
 
 
The above display presents the Insert, Edit and Delete options for AIM data tables.  The basic rule is that Users can be granted or denied the privilege to Insert, Edit or Delete records for a specific data table.  This provides a flexible mechanism to control which Users can insert, modify or remove data contained in AIM data tables.

This level of flexibility allows zoological and science center facilities to comply with regulatory requirements where specific types of data records cannot be edited or deleted once they have been entered into the system's database.

NOTE:  Underlying data tables for user-defined data entry forms (created in Architect) are automatically added to Rights and Permissions listings in the Administrator.

 
 
    User Accounts - Usage Statistics
 
 

The Records Management Administrator for your facility can set the level of statistics recording to one of the following:

  • Do not record any usage statistics.

  • Record when a User enters / exits an Application component  ( Data Records, Architect, Print Shop, Data Xchange ).

  • Record when a User enters / exits an Application as well as when a User enters / exits a user interface form within an Application component.

The above display presents usage statistics for the selected User Account  ( User or Group Name : Staff,  Login Name : pallen ).

Outdated Account Usage records can easily be archived, then purged, to reduce the number of records in the active display, such as Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly.
