User Access Control

To control user access parameters, use the Access Control tab on the Properties side panel:

NOTE. When roles of the information security administrator and the application administrator are separated, the Access Control tab is available only for the information security administrator.

By default, the user can access the system any time, from any workstations, IP and MAC addresses.

If access time is set up for the user of Foresight Analytics Platform, the system shows a warning first in 15 minutes and then in 5 minutes before the time is out. When the time is out, the user is disconnected.

To set up access by days of week:

Click the Edit button below the Access Denied list.
Click the Weekly button in the Deny Access by Schedule dialog box:

The Deny Access by Schedule dialog box displays the table with days or week and times. One cell equals to one hour of access on the specified day of week, starting from the specified hour.

To separate access time, select the required cell range.

NOTE. The selected cell range denies system login during the selected time.

To deny access on specific dates:

Click the Edit button below the Access Denied list.
Click the Exceptions button in the Deny Access by Schedule dialog box:

Add a date range by specifying the start and the end dates.
Add a rule by clicking the Add Rule button to set up access.

NOTE. Access is set up identically to access setup by days of week.

To delete the selected date range, click the Delete Rule button.

To clear the entire list of access prohibitions, click the Clear button.

The list of date ranges and days of week is contained in the Access Denied general list.

IMPORTANT. Denying of access by specific dates has a higher priority than denying of access by days of week.

Workstations, IP addresses, MAC addresses are set in the Access to Workstation list:

To add a workstation/IP address/MAC address, click the Add button below the list. A new element is added to enter a workstation/with mask to enter IP address or MAC address. After the address has been entered, press the ENTER key or move the cursor to another component. To cancel entering address, click the Delete button.

To edit IP address or MAC address selected in the list, click the address string and enter necessary changes. To confirm changes or to move focus to the other component, press the ENTER key.

To delete the selected workstations/IP addresses/MAC addresses, click the Delete button.

Multiple list elements can be selected by holding down the CTRL key.

The Maximum Number of Sessions checkbox enables the user to determine the maximum number of user repository connections. The checkbox is deselected by default, and the number of sessions is unlimited. After selecting the checkbox specify the number of sessions.

NOTE. To enable session limit on Microsoft SQL Server, the user needs to be granted the VIEW SERVER STATE permission.
