Chapter 3. Security Features
addVANTAGE Pro’s security is maintained through its users, groups, and roles.
Everyone who uses the software has a user ID, which identifies him or her to the
system. Each user belongs to one or more groups, which determine the types of
nodes and services a user has access to. Each user is also assigned a role, and
the role determines which actions the user can perform in addVANTAGE Pro.
These system features ensure that your data is secure because you have
allowed access to only those users who need to work with it.
Administering Users, Groups, and Roles
The Security Service allows an administrator, or a user with administrator rights,
to control users, groups, and roles in the system. An administrator can:
• Create, edit, and delete users, groups, and roles
• Assign users to groups and roles
• Change privileges, passwords, and other options
To work with users, groups, and roles, select Tools

and Groups. The Users and Groups dialog is displayed (Figure 19).

Working with Users
The Users and Groups dialog displays the Users tab by default, as you can see
above in Figure 19. Use this tab to add, edit, copy, and remove users.
