4.3. Presentation of the web interface accounts and their management

The web interface enables access to:

  • Creating analysis templates

  • Analysing files

  • Accessing and managing analysis reports

  • Managing users and related groups

  • History of authentications, account creations/deletions, and rights changes on the platform


4.3.1. Web interface accounts, groups, and rights

It is possible to create user accounts each having different rights.
These rights are defined by groups.
Each user can therefore belong to one or more groups, thus inheriting the rights of the group.

In the web interface, there are two types of group with differing rights:

  • Operators

  • Administrators

Generic accounts are defined with the following rights levels:
