Introduce User Access

Most user access is managed through the AIM Admin Tool.

Note: The following sections assume you have logged on to the Admin Tool, see Log on to the Admin Tool.

To understand user access in the AIM Dashboard, the following rules may help:

• Every person who uses the AIM Dashboard has a User account.

• Some parts of functionality are only available to a User who has been assigned the appropriate Right.

• Every data object can have its visibility restricted by associating it with a Security Access Group (SAG).

• Data objects in a SAG can only be seen by a User who has been assigned the appropriate SAG.

• Rights and SAGs can be grouped together to create a Role.

• A Role can be assigned to a User, giving them all its constituent Rights and SAGs in one go.
