Access Management

Security in ABCD is controlled by a relationship between Operators (who logs in) and Profiles (what they can do). This section guides administrators through configuring secure access to the system.

Core Concepts​

1. Profiles (Authorization)​

Profiles act as templates for permissions. Instead of assigning rights to each user individually, you define a role (e.g., "Cataloger", "Loan Officer") and assign users to that role.

2. Operators (Authentication)​

Operators are the actual user accounts. Each operator must be assigned to a valid profile to access the system.

Security Best Practice

Avoid using the generic adm or abcd accounts for daily work. Create individual accounts for every staff member to ensure actions can be traced back to a specific person in the system logs.
