Adding and Updating User Information

To be able to login to a TapeTrack Framework Server, you must have a User-ID and password.

This section describes how to create a new User-ID and set Attributes for that User-ID.

From the main menu select Administration → Group/User Administration.

To add a new User, right-click in the white space on the User Administration screen and select Add.

To update an existing User, double-click on that User or right-click and select Properties.

The Add New User window will display three tabs:

• Identity
• IP Ranges
• Access

The Identity tab provides fields to update the:

• Identity

  • Role: Hierarchical role of the User.

  • Administrative rights: When set to True the User will have Administration Rights with Server Administrator privileges or the ability to Add/Delete Customers and Media Types.
  • Scan-In Only: When set to True the User will only be able to Scan tapes into the system.

  • Allow access inheritance: Allows User to inherit another User's access rights using variable TMSSUSERINHERIT with Command Line Utility Programs

  • Customer-ID: Sets Customer-ID for User in Scan-In window. Once Customer-ID is set, Media-ID field will be displayed.
  • Media-ID: Sets Media-ID for User in Scan-In window.

The IP Ranges tab sets restrictions on which IP addresses a User can access the TapeTrack Server from.

If setting IP's, ensure Users have a static IP address so they are not denied access if trying to access from a dynamic address such as using a remote or home connection.

To add or delete, right-click the window and select from the menu.

Global Access (0.0.0.0) will allow access from any IP, this value will need to be removed if added a restricted IP list as all values in the list are valid.

The Access tab sets permissions for which Customers the selected User can access and how that User can interact with Volumes in the selected Customer.

• Customer-ID: Enter the Customer-ID for the Customer that the User should have access to.
  • US01 will give access to US01 only
  • US* will give access to all customers starting with US
  • * will give access to all customers
• Read: Allows the User to view but not update Volumes in the above Customer. Must be enabled for the User to be able to view Volumes in the selected Customer-ID.
• Write: Allows the User to perform basic operations for Volumes to the selected Customer.
• Alter: Allows the User to Add and Delete Media and Volumes to the selected Customer.
• Catalog: Allows User to access Catalog information on the selected Customer.

For each Customer access, click Add to commit the data. Predicted access rights will then be displayed in the lower window.

Once all data has been entered, click Save to create User.
