An Introduction to up.time Users and Access Control
up.time allows for very granular control over user's access, feature availablity and individual preferences. An individual user within up.time is associated to one or more user groups, a user role and one or more notification groups if the user desires to receive service outage notification from up.time.
User: A user holds information about a use including name, password, email address, pager/sms numbers, associated user groups, alerting preferences and vacation status. Users are allowed to update their own preferences via the My Portal page.
User Group: A user group has many users assigned to it. The user group defines what elements (systems, system groups, applications, etc...) in up.time that a user has permissions to view. By defining a set of user groups you can allow very specific visibility rights to users within up.time. You can even configur up.time to segment your users via user groups so that users have no idea about other systems or services on the monitoring station that are outside of their visible set.
User Role: A user role is associated to a user to define what features are available to the given user. For example you can control a users ability to add or remove elements or service monitors.
