Login Security

Whenever a user attempts to login to Stat, two security checks, or “passes,” are made against the Stat Repository before the user’s login ID and password are validated. In this way, a total of three validations are performed before a user is granted access to the system. This process is as follows:

If the ID is valid, the appropriate security is put in place and Stat is loaded with all the internal security measures defined for the user in place. The user never actually logs into the Stat Repository using his or her login ID. First the STATLOGIN ID is used, then the ID from the Stat_Login table. Stat user IDs are used to identify the functions that users can and cannot perform once they are logged in.

Internal Security

Internal Stat security is based on service domains and user classes. User classes are collections of access rights that control a user's ability to view information and perform functions within service domains. To operate within a service domain, a user must be assigned to at least one user class that is associated with that service domain.

For example, the table below illustrates the security rights assigned to a user based on hypothetical service domains and user classes The user has access to the Change Control and Information Systems service domains, but not the Human Resources service domain.

Change Control

Yes

Yes

Developer

Change Control

Yes

No

Migrator

Information Systems

Yes

No

Staff

Information Systems

Yes

No

Projects

Human Resources

No

No

N/A

In this example, the user is assigned to the Developer and Migrator user classes in the Change Control service domain. The Developer user class lets the user edit and create CSRs, lock objects, and create archive sets, whereas the Migrator user class lets the user migrate archive sets. However, neither user class lets the user edit maintenance tables or add new users. In the Information Systems service domain, the user also has the combined rights of two user classes: Staff and Project. The Staff user class only lets users create new CSRs and view existing CSRs, whereas the Project user class lets the user create and edit projects. Lastly, in the Human Resources service domain, the user is not assigned to a user class and has no access whatsoever.

The indication of default in the Change Control domain means that when Stat prompts the user to select a service domain — for example, when opening a new CSR — the default choice is Change Control.

Changing the Database Password

Upon installation, the second pass Login ID and password are set for you. The Login ID is set to “STAT.” Do not change it.

If your DBA requires that the Stat database password be changed, the password itself must be changed in three locations: the Stat Windows Client, the Stat Central Agent, and at the database level.

Changing the Stat database password for the Stat Windows Client is controlled by the user class right, Master Database Login ID - Change.

2
Once the password has been changed at the database level by the DBA, select Maintenance | Security Settings | Database Login Info.
7
In the Password field, enter the password to match the password for the Stat Windows Client and at the database level. When finished, click Save.

Defining User Classes

One of the first tasks in a Stat implementation is to define user classes. User classes are logical groupings of security rights based on the functional roles of users. For example, Stat system administrators would typically belong to a user class that allows them to define and edit service domains, whereas most other Stat users would not belong to that class.

Stat gives you the flexibility to define as many user classes as you need. As a general rule, it is a good idea to start off with a few user classes and add more as necessary.

User classes correspond to business or functional roles within an enterprise, such as Administrators and Developers. Users that fulfill multiple roles can be granted membership in multiple user classes, each corresponding to a different function. A user’s rights are the summation of the rights in all the user classes to which that user belongs.

User class security is controlled by the following user class rights:

The User Class table is displayed in a standard maintenance window. To open this window, select Maintenance | Security Settings | User Classes.

Active

If selected, activates the value in Stat

User Class Code
(Key Value)

A 1-10 alpha character code which uniquely identifies the user class

4
Click Apply.
Stat automatically displays the current date and time in the Last Update field and your user ID in the Update By field.
5
Click Edit Rights.... Then in the Select Edit Rights window, select the rights you want to assign the user class.
