Function Vs. Content

BE breaks its security into two distinct aspects. Structure and Content.

Structure.

BE is made of modules. Each module is made up of functional groups. Each functional group contains functions. The security of modules and functional groups is managed in the System Access Management module. A user can be granted access to a module and then also needs to be granted to the functional groups within that module. This provides granular control to the functionality of any module.

Content.

Separate explicit access must also be granted to the content that exists within these modules. For example being granted access to a campaign, does not provide the structure access to the campaign and vice versa. Both must be granted separately.

Campaign security access is granted in Database Management module eCourse security access is granted in the eCourse Management module Conference security access is granted in the Conference Centre module Etc.

Security Management PowerBar

To help with security management there is a dedicated Security Management dashboard which can be enabled to help speed up security management for both structure and content.

Main Menu -> Control Bar -> PowerBar Management -> Personal Links -> Dashboard – Add private link -> In Dashboard select “Security Manager Dashboard” and click Create Control Bar.

This will provide a new button on the main menu which should help you navigate your security engines quickly and efficiently.
