User Accounts

The N1 Service Provisioning System software restricts access and provides audit trails through the use of user accounts. All users are required to log in to use the application. The Master Server includes a single default account –admin. All other accounts are user definable

The admin User Account

This default account provides initial access to the provisioning software and is intended for system administrators. The user name for this account is admin and the password is admin.

Once you have logged in as admin, you can change the account password and set up user accounts and user groups.

Be sure to change the default password for this admin account, in order to keep unauthorized users from accessing it.

Other User Accounts

When setting up user accounts you must decide if everyone is to have their own account or if groups of people will share a specific account. In some organizations it may be simpler to create user accounts based on function and give people log in based on the function they perform. For example, everyone who performs administrative tasks may share the admin account. Providing every user with a unique account will allow for better audit tracking because the provisioning software maintains a history of what is done and by whom.

The User Group object has the following attributes.

User

A user definable text string that names the user account.

Password section

This section shows wether a password is set or not and allows a password to be set or changed.

Member of User Groups

Allows the user to add or remove the currently selected user account to or from one or more user groups.

Net Permissions for User

Displays the permissions granted to the currently selected user account. These permissions are granted by virtue of which user group or groups to which the user is a member.

Other

Allows the user to deactivate and hide a user account. Because it is not possible to remove user accounts, the provisioning software makes it possible to deactivate and hide obsolete accounts.
