Getting Started

Duty3G Access

Detailed information on accessing COSmanager applications can be found in the section COSmanager Users and Access Controls of the COSmanager User Guide. The information in this chapter is a summary of the relevant details from that manual.

To access COSmanager, a user must first have a UNIX account on the same host as COSmanager, or on a networked host. To actually run any COSmanager applications, users must have access rights to the required COSmanager menus and options.

Roles

COSmanager access is controlled by assigning to selected users one or more roles. Roles equate to responsibilities shared by some staff. Each role translates to a set of capabilities that determine users’ access to menus and functions in individual COSmanager applications.

Figure 2 — Capabilities and roles
Figure 2 — Capabilities and roles

By grouping users with similar access requirements and responsibilities, you can avoid having to allocate capabilities to individual users and security is enhanced by granting access rights according to job function, rather than to transient individuals.

Duty3G is supplied with a set of default roles such as those shown in the diagram below. These roles can be modified to more accurately reflect the needs of an installation.


Capabilities

COSmanager applications such as duty3G ‘interpret’ each one of a user’s roles, to determine what capabilities are granted to the user in that application.


Note
Note
By convention, role names use initial capitals (“Admin”) and capabilities do not (“dutysuper“).

The capabilities associated with roles in duty3G can be viewed and modified by users with top-level privileges only. Examples of capabilities used within duty3G are shown in the table below and the full set can be viewed under duty3G configuration > Maintain > Access roles.

Capability Description
dutysuper Maintain all duties, including those requiring superuser access
dutyadmin Maintain all duties, except those requiring superuser access
runall Perform all duties
runouts Perform outstanding duties
runsched Perform scheduled duties

From this example, users without dutysuper or dutyadmin capability should not be able to maintain any duty or access duty3G configuration.


Steps to Obtaining Access to duty3G

  1. Add user to COSmanager as either a user or a group.
  2. Assign appropriate COSmanager roles to the user, creating new role if required.
  3. Ensure capabilities assigned to role within duty3G are adequate by examining the ‘duty3G Access Capabilities/Roles’ table under duty3G configuration > Maintain > Access roles. Amend or add roles as required.


Functions by Role

There are a number of standard roles supplied with COSmanager and inherited by duty3G. Following are what functions each standard role can perform. See Appendix B - Duty3G Menus by Role.
