Working with security groups
In the Security Groups application, specify security restrictions and privileges for groups of users.
- Adding security groups
Security privileges control user access to modules, applications, menu options, and data. All security access is based on security groups. - Granting authorization privileges to security groups
You can grant authorization privileges for security groups, such as access to applications, to storerooms, and to labor information. - Specifying restrictions for security groups
You can specify all types of restrictions for security groups, such as data restrictions and collection restrictions. - Deleting users from security groups
The security group to which a user belongs controls the level of access and privileges for the user within the system. To address changes in your security needs, you can remove a user from a security group. - Encrypting properties for security
You can encrypt properties in the maximo.properties file to provide additional security. The properties that are encrypted have maxprop.encrypted=1 on the database. - Changing to application server authentication from Maximo Asset Management authentication
Follow this procedure to use application server security when you selected Maximo® Asset Management security during installation. - Mapping user data from a directory server into the Maximo database
When the cron task synchronizes user data from the directory server into Maximo Asset Management, the data must map correctly to the corresponding fields in the Maximo database. - Setting password requirements
You can set password requirements, set password characters, allow the placement of password characters, and create and delete excluded passwords. When the system is implemented, the initial password requirement is of a minimum length. You can change the minimum length and specify additional requirements.
