Security Settings

Access to IP Office 3.2 system settings is controlled by Service Users and Rights Groups. All actions involving communications between the Manager user and the IP Office require a Service User name and password. That Service User must be a member of a Rights Group configured to perform that action.

In the example illustrated above:

• Service User X can read and write the configuration. However they can only edit Operator settings and can only make changes that can be merged.

• Service User Y can read and write the configuration, edit all settings and make changes that require reboots.

• Service User Z can read and write the configuration, edit all settings and make changes that require reboots. They can also access the security settings.  

• The Security Administrator can only access the security settings.

Security Administrators
By default the security administrator is the only user who can access the IP Office's security settings using Manager's security mode.

Service Users
Each Service User has a name, a password and is a member of one or more Rights Groups.

Rights Groups
The Rights Groups to which a Service User belongs determine what actions they can perform. Actions available to Rights Groups include:

Where a Service User has been configured as a member of more than one Rights Group, they combine the functions available to the separate Rights Groups.

If required, the ability to edit security settings can be given to Rights Groups. Service Users who are members of those Rights Groups can then perform the following security setting actions.

Operator Rights
Each Rights Group has an Operator Rights setting. This controls what parts of the configuration can be edited by Service Users in the Rights Group.  The Operator Rights settings are Administrator, Manager and Operator. These cannot be edited.
