USoft Authorizer allows you to grant access
rights to users of a USoft application. By assigning users to a
user group, and by specifying the collective rights of these
groups, you can effectively manage the distribution of your
application's functionality among the end-users. In other words, it
allows you to specify who is entitled to do what.
Because the USoft Developer
Series is itself a USoft application, you can also use USoft
Authorizer to define user groups in the development environment,
and grant different access rights to different members of the
developer team. A special Load Definer User Groups option helps you
set up developer rights for typical development roles such as
Business Architects, Developers with and without access to
TeamWork-related specifications, and Read Only.
In addition, you can set
additional parameters for each user group. This way, you can use
your knowledge about how each user group operates to optimize
runtime performance for that group.
Before you start the
Authorizer and begin to enter data, you will need to analyze the
functional aspects of your application to obtain the necessary
information concerning the rights users need. From this functional
model you can derive your authorization model. This is based on the
application's data model.
Once you have defined your
authorization model, you can use the Authorizer again when one of
the following changes occurs:
|
·
|
Changes in organizational structure. |
|
·
|
Changes in the application's data model (for example, because
of re-engineering, adding of tables, or extended
functionality). |
The rights that you can grant
or deny user groups are also called permissions, grants, or
authorizations.
