Article pending= Overview = bxp provides a very secure and auditable environment for businesses. Like any system the most important part is not the system, nor the content but the users. With audit trails available for all activities it can be difficult to keep track of everything a user does. This article highlights the primary user profiling tools available.   = Primary Access =  Most user activity starts in System Access Management [[File:016.png]]  It is important to understand the difference between functional and content access. [[Function_Vs._Content]]  To view the users functional abilities. ''Main Menu > System Access Management > User Administration > Edit User - Security Details > Lookup the User''  So now with functional access determined the next review is the primary content. There are many content access possible through different modules. There is a primary content access report ''Main Menu > System Access Management > Security Reports > Security - User Profile - By Lookup > Lookup the user > '' It can take a while to generate this report as a number of key pieces of information are determined. Access is grouped by: * Project* Form* eCourse* Conference Centre   = Security Information =  The next group of primary tasks when profiling a user is to review the security settings and activity of the user.  Firstly password strength is useful to review. This is more often done on a group basis. ''Main Menu > System Access Management > Security Reports > Security - Password Strength'' Use Ctrl and F to find in your browser and just look up the persons name.  Next is their logins. Again as per most of the security reports they are grouped. ''Main Menu > System Access Management > Security Reports > Login Report - All Logins > Choose the period > '' Again using Ctrl and F will help you locate the user quickly.  The next check for a user in terms of security is to see are they locked out. ''Main Menu > System Access Management > User Setup Requests > Release Lock Out''  The last part of the security set is to view auditable actions. Only certain major actions make the key activity audit log. This limitation removes all of the inconsequential activity. ''Main Menu > System Access Management > Security Reports > Security - System Events Audit Trail > Choose a period > '' Logs here are only kept for 6 months.   = Data Storage =  Within bxp there is a lot of information possible to be stored about a user. This is to provide the maximum integration and flexibility especially when working with Human Resources systems integrations. Everything is based on a single Id which is unqiue through the whole of bxp. All activity is linked to this user Id. The fields available are : {|! Personal! Human Resources! Security! Settings!
