About application user accounts

Role-based access control (RBAC) is used to restrict access to application functions. The role of an application user account determines the set of actions available to the user. The following roles are provided for application user accounts:

• Administrator.

  A user with the Administrator role has access privileges that enable use of all functions for application management, monitoring, and viewing information. This user can also access functions for managing user accounts created in the application.

• Operator.

  A user with the Operator role has access privileges only for monitoring and viewing information.

The Administrator role is assigned to the first user account that is created during initial configuration of the application.

When adding subsequent user accounts, you can assign the appropriate roles to them. You can create up to 100 user accounts for users of the application (not counting users that are configured for Single Sign-On from Kaspersky Security Center).

When connected to the Server, users receive the access privileges corresponding to the role of their user account. If the role of an application user is changed by another user (who has been assigned the Administrator role) while the user is working, the access rights of the connected user are updated in online mode. For example, a user that has connected to the Server with the Administrator role will lose the rights to access application management functions after the Operator role is assigned to their user account.

You can manage user accounts that were created in the application under Settings → Users in the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks web interface.
