0000607: (Security Framework/User Access) .......

Scope of this wiki

This covers our security framework/user access admin.

Glossary

Security Framework - framework that provides authentication, authorization and other security features for enterprise applications.

Core Business Need

System needs to have different levels of access. (As any system of this scale).

Business Requirements

BR Version 1.0

Each jaguar user should be of one access type. This type controls what resources (components, etc) and features user can use. For example "Basic Ops" can not access accounting module.

Types we need:

Basic Ops
Super Ops
Basic Acc
Super Acc
Management
Sales
Blank 1
Blank 2

Some of the Access Options we need (not a full list):

Ops Home (access to)
Admin Home
Acc Home
CT Rights Administration
Delete saved documents

Typical access options would be to allow to click on a button and proceed to a homepage of a component (example: Acc button on CT2 homepage). If user does not have enough rights then system could show pop-up stating that user has no access. Or we could simply hide that button.

One design option would be to present a table - see #Figure 1: UI

Please note that above Biz Reqs has been implemented.

BR Version 2.0

Managing access types should be through admin

Instead of hard coded "blank1", "blank2" user types we need ability to create/delete/edit as many as we wish through admin.

Superuser

We probably need to add hard coded "superuser level" that can do anything. This uname/password can not be editable through the systems UI. And it can not be deleted through the system.

New access options: per tab

System should be able to block access not only to buttons but tabs as well

Per form control

In the future we will need to create CT2 sub systems - limited versions of CT2 (with just limited functionality available). Example: trucker user would need to be able to create CT and edit/view of 40% of fields, only on Gen Tab. Ideally we would like to make it configurable through admin (vs making them hard coded).

Super configurable option

List as many options as possible in access table (all CT2 sections, sub sections, all tabs, all fields on CT profile)

implement this only if feasible / possible

Comments from Systems Analyst

Superuser requirements: please research alternatives and make a decision what to use, for example "Linux root approach".

UI design: use usual "modal window approach" if possible

first create #Preliminary Design / Prototype and review with me;

create UI prototype in Paint or use any other tool/approach

Up to date = Yes. Covered: #SOW 0, #SOW 1.

User role manager

User roles (types) can be added.

Each menu item / feature can be added or removed from access list for specific role.

Each user can have multiple roles.

See example of "Report user":

Technical Note:
