Control user access to web interface

In Adaxes, objects and operations available to a user in the web interface are determined by the user's security roles. For example, if a user doesn't have the permissions to create groups, this operation will not be visible to them. If a user isn't allowed to view an organizational unit, it will never be displayed.

In addition, you can restrict who can use a particular web interface. For example, you may not want the members of the Administrators group to use a web interface hosted in the DMZ.

1. Open Adaxes web interface configurator.

    How

   • On the computer where web interface configurator is installed, open Windows Start menu.

   • Click Adaxes Web Interface Configurator.

   To configure the web interface, you need to have the appropriate permissions.

    Permissions

   The permissions to configure the web interface are delegated via security roles. By default, only service administrators have the appropriate permissions. To enable other users to configure the web interface, grant them the corresponding permissions.

   To create a security role that grants the permissions to configure web interface:

   • In Adaxes administration console, right-click your Adaxes service, point to New and click Security Role.

   • Enter a name for the new security role and click Next.

   • On the Permissions step, click the down arrow embedded into the Add button and click Configure Web Interface.

   • Click Next and follow the steps in the wizard.

2. In the top left corner, select the web interface you want to customize.

3. In the left navigation menu, click Access control.

4. In the User access section, specify users and security groups you want to allow or deny access to.

   The Deny everyone option can be useful if you have a web interface for self-service password reset only. No one will be allowed to sign in to the web interface, but its password self-service feature will be available.

5. Save the changes.

   Section settings can be applied to other web interface configurations. Click the down arrow button in the top right corner of the section and then click Apply to other web interfaces.
