Integrated Security

The security system in SPDE's System Manager allows administrators to set rules that limit access and actions for the objects in a configuration and to determine what interfaces are available to each user. Most commonly, administrators will define and manage workflow rules with the System Manager and operators will only have access to the Queue Manager for controlling and monitoring job workflow.

Granular security enables administrators to control who can do what in the system for every module in a configuration based on their login credentials. For instance, an administrator could prevent a group from accessing a job queue, prohibit a user from making configuration changes, and allow others to fully control some queues, but only monitor processing activity for others, and deny access to others.

Using queue security enables administrators to set up a workflow to track operator activity. If an action performed by a user is denied because of insufficient policies or permissions, the event will be logged in the Windows Event Viewer.

SPDE supports the configuration of administrator and operator policies, privileges and access rights. Security controls may be set at a system-wide level or individual module levels to determine what settings and interfaces are available to each user.
