Security Settings Page

The options on the Security Settings page are the default security settings for all adTempus objects, and also control access to adTempus.

For information on specifying security settings see the Security Editor and Security Overview topics.

By default only members of the server By "server" we mean the computer on which the adTempus service is running's Administrators group can connect to adTempus. If you want users other than Administrators to be able to use adTempus, you must grant them "Connect to the server" permission on this page (see "Server Permissions" below).

Object Permissions

The security permissions specified here are inherited by all objects in adTempus. For example, if you grant "View" permission to a user (or group), that user (or group) will be able to view all objects (jobs, notification recipients, scripts, etc.) in adTempus.

You can grant permissions for different kinds of objects in other places in adTempus. For example, a in a common scenario you would grant "View" permission to all users here, allowing all users to view all adTempus objects. If you want to allow a group of users to create and modify jobs (but not create or modify any other objects), you would modify the sercurity settings for the root "Jobs" group to grant the appropriate permissions.

See the Security Inheritance and Security Configuration Guidelines topics for more information.

Server Permissions

This is also where you specify who is allowed to connect to this adTempus server. No matter what object-level permissions you have assigned to a user, the user cannot connect to the server unless you have assigned "Connect to the server" permission. Similarly, granting a user "Connect to the server" permission only allows that user to log in to adTempus through the adTempus Console. You still must grant object-level permissions to allow the user to view, create, and modify objects such as jobs.
