Users

The User Account and Access Control implementation within the Metrix Asset Management system is underpinned by an industry leading cloud-based solution for authentication and authorisation; ensuring the security of your asset data. Each and every user account within your environment can be entirely managed by your own system administrators via the restricted-access system administrations portal in the Metrix Asset Management system. Through this portal, system administrators can:

• Create new user accounts,
• Add or Remove role-based permissions for users, and
• Disable access for user accounts.

The user account creation process is provided as a fully self-service management system for system administrators to extend the accessibility of their environment. When creating a new account, a secure short-lived password will be emailed to the new user along with an invite to complete their account setup. At that point, the user will be prompted to initialise their own password - which is required to meet various constraints, including:

• Minimum length of 8 characters
• No spaces
• At least one uppercase letter
• At least one lowercase letter
• t least one number
• At least one special characters (excluding + and -)

Permissions

User permissions are managed through various pre-configured roles designed to function at a user activity level. Within each role, representing an end user activity, users can be given simple read, write, and/or delete permissions. Examples of such activity roles include:

• Managing asset/component information,
• Configuring classifications,
• System configuration,
• and more.

Disabled Accounts

Through the user management portal within the Metrix Asset Management system, administrators are able to disable system access completely for any user account. This action will leave the user profile setup within the environment, but prevent that account from logging into Metrix from anywhere.

Administrators, in addition to disabling access, can also re-enable account access via the same portal.
