Managing user access

You can manage user access and permissions from the User Center Home page.

The Clearswift Gateway system is initially supplied with one administrator account for the Gateway Interface. This is named cs-admin by default. This account always has full access to all the Clearswift Gateway Centers.

If you have the appropriate access permissions, you can create accounts for additional users.

Configure the access permissions of each account according to the role a user is to perform.

Tell me about...

• Anonymize Data

  You can configure an account which is unable to view specific user details.

  For example, you might want to create a user account with access to view reports but not personal information such as user names or machine numbers. In this scenario, specific user information is not displayed and the data is anonymized.

  You can anonymize the following information by enabling Anonymize Data for a user account.

  • User or User List identifiers in reports
  • Machine identifiers

  These parameters will be replaced with ****** if the user account has Anonymize Data enabled.

  User accounts with Anonymize Data enabled are unable to view the Web Transaction Log or the Apache Access Log.

• Access Control

  You can configure a user with permission to perform certain tasks while using the Gateway. You can provide a combination of permissions to a user account by selecting any of the available tasks in the Access Control panel.

  Use the Access Control panel to create a user with an Administration Role.
