Updating Access Security

4.4.3. Updating Access Security

If there are changes in use cases, these will need manual updating of the security settings.

Updates of Use Cases #

Changes in Security use cases should be updated on the SICS database using the “Update Security” function on the System Administrator console. The “Update Security” process will:

  • Delete use cases that have been removed.

  • Add new use cases to the database.

  • Update changed use cases. Note: The modified and added use cases have notes added to each access right. To read these notes select the “Use Cases” tab on the “Access Security Manager” window. Then right-click on the use case and select “View…”.

  • Removed use cases will automatically be removed from any user role they are assigned to.

  • Added use cases will not be included in any user roles These new use cases may impact installed systems, as they will block access to functions if they are not added to the appropriate role(s).

  • Existing use cases that have been updated with additional access rights may impact installed systems. Existing user roles should be reviewed.

  • New access rights marked (Life) is only relevant for Life and Combined databases.

  • After the usecase label there is a code that shows what type of usecase this is.
