CHAPTER 7 • SYSTEM PAGE
To remove a user, click the Remove link on the right side of the user list. Once a user is
removed, that user will no longer be able to log into Collector.
To edit user information, click on the username in the user list, edit the information and
click the Save button. Every user can change their own user details, but only an adminis-
trator with permissions to modify users will be able to change details and permissions for
other users.
Network Permissions
The Networks box contains a list of networks currently registered in the Collector system.
Check a network checkbox to allow user access for that network. This allows different Col-
lector users to be assigned to specific sensors, but not to view or modify sensors for which
they have no authorization. Once network access is removed, sensors belonging to that
network will not be displayed when that user views the Sensors page.
Note
Sensors that don’t belong to a network will be visible to all users, regardless of indi-
vidual network permission settings. A sensor will still be visible if it belongs to one
or more networks that you have permission to view, even if the sensor also belongs
to one or more networks that you do not have permission to view.
User Privileges
The Privileges list contains all of the Collector privileges that can be turned on or off for
each user. Privileges will affect both the functionality and availability of many pages and
tabs within Collector.
Common privilege settings can be assigned using the following role templates:
˽
Administrator – Shows all privileges.
˽
Standard – Does not show administrator privileges, but most others.
˽
Guest – Shows read-only privileges.
To assign a role template, click on Admin, Standard or Guest at the top of the Privileges
box. The privileges will automatically adjust to meet the selected template and can be edited
to give the user specific and unique privileges.
After a user is assigned a role template, a system administrator can still adjust the privi-
lege settings. Only users with Administrator or Standard roles will automatically be given
network permissions for each new network. If one or more users do NOT have access to a
newly created network, an administrator will have to manually check that network among
the network permissions for each user.
