About the Security Management Application
Overview
As an Administrator, you can use the Security Management application to provide access privileges to the users and assign them to various applications in the Plant Applications Universal Client. For example, users assigned to the Operations privilege set can work with the Operations module.
About Privilege Sets
A privilege set or scope specifies the access for users to the applications in the Plant Applications Universal Client. For each privilege set, a UAA group is created. Using Security Management, you must add your UAA groups to the privilege set. The members of the group will then get access to the associated application in Plant Applications Universal Client.
- Privilege Set: A parent object which denotes a specific application in the Plant Applications Universal Client. You can use it to add groups to a privilege set. The members of the group will then get access to the associated application in Plant Applications Universal Client.
- Group: A collection of users and groups. Using Security Management, you can create groups in UAA, and add or remove groups defined in UAA to a privilege set.
User allocation in the Security Management application
Suppose a user, TherouC, is assigned to two groups, a_PPC_EPI_PA_SIS_AUG_SAPDeliv and a_PPC_EPI_PA_SIS_AUG_SAPPrOrd, in an identity provider application. If a_PPC_EPI_PA_SIS_AUG_SAPDeliv is added to the NCM Management privilege set and a_PPC_EPI_PA_SIS_AUG_SAPPrOrd is added to the Route Management privilege set, TherouC will have access to both NCM Management and Route Management applications.
