VIP - Security

 This is a Key Topic, with high value for all users.

Note: The information on this page is for Veson IMOS Platform (VIP) Administrators only.

Security is designed to protect data and prevent unauthorized access to the VIP environment used by your organization, and it manages all user rights on the system. For each user and/or group, you can assign rights to perform the functions related to each module and object.

Setting Up Security for Individual Users and Groups

To set up Security:

1. Do one of the following:
   • On the main menu , under Data Center, click Security.
   • In the Data Center quick links, click .
   The Security List appears.
   
   
   Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : No link could be created for 'VIP - List View'.
2. On the Security List, you can do any of the following:
   1. Create groups and assign module and object rights.
   2. Create users.
      
      1. Assign users to groups.
      2. Assign user module and object rights or adjust user rights inherited from groups.
      
      Note: We recommend that you create groups and assign rights to them before you create individual users. You might find it more efficient to categorize users in groups and then adjust rights for individuals, rather than starting from scratch for each user. 
      
      Creating groups and creating users are nearly identical tasks, with nearly the same panel tabs:
      
      
      • Profile:
        • Group or User Details
        • Authentication (for users only)
        • Members or Group Membership
      • Access Rights:
        • Module Rights
        • Object Rights 

Once these steps are complete, users can use their credentials to log in to Veslink.com. If their credentials are verified, VIP starts.

On the Security List, you can also edit or inactivate or activate a group or user.

Note: With configuration flag CFGEnableDistributionLists enabled, you can also create Distribution Lists for reports.

Bulk Update Security List

To bulk update select the users or groups you want to update and then click the action link at the top of the list (either activate or deactivate). To select multiple consecutive rows, select the first row and then press and hold Shift. Select the last row and then release Shift.
