Managing user access

To manage user access; in the FCC menu, select System and then the USER SETTINGS tab. At the top, there is a table of users and at the bottom a table of roles. User permissions are defined based on the user’s rules. One role may be assigned to several users.

Create a role

Click NEW ROLE. A form displays where you can fill in the field name and description. You can also directly choose users to whom the new role is to be assigned. If you are creating a role for Flowmon APM, you must check the Application Performance Monitoring box in the Modules field.

An APM-specific role is configured in the APM tab. There are three levels of user permissions:

• administrator (can read and modify anything).

• read-only (can read anything but is not allowed to modify it).

• Analyst (can only see the analysis, reports, and alerts).

A user who is assigned the default admin role will always have full access to APM, regardless of the settings in this tab.

You can proceed analogously in editing an existing role. Assigning a role to a user is carried out in the form of editing a user by selecting the appropriate role in the Roles list.
