4.3. Web interface accounts and their management

GCenter enables access to:

  • Managing users and related groups

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

  • Linking with an LDAP server


4.3.1. Web Interface Accounts

Depuis le menu de configuration des comptes utilisateurs, il est possible de créer des comptes utilisateurs ayant chacun des droits différents.
These rights are defined by groups.
Each user can therefore belong to one or more groups, thus inheriting the rights of the group.

Note

The proposed groups fully comply with the Military Programming Law.

In the GCenter web interface, there are two different types of rights:

  • Operator

  • Administrator

Generic accounts are defined with the following rights levels:

4.3.3. Functions authorized with the group or role `administrator`

From the administrator account, it will be possible to access all the menus present in the legacy Web UI.

4.3.7. Creating local users

In addition to generic accounts, it is possible to create user accounts each having different rights.

Note

The proposed groups fully comply with the Military Programming Law.

When creating a new user account, it is possible to assign different roles to the user.
The role(s) the user is assigned will enable them to access more or less menus in the web interface.
Indeed, depending on the actions carried out, it will be necessary to assign a specific role.
The administrator fills in the following fields concerning the user they wish to create:
  • Username

  • Password

  • Email address

  • First Name

  • Last Name

It is also necessary to activate the account for it to be usable and to assign it the available roles: operator and/or administrator
These fields will be used later to trace the user in the connection history or in the event of changes concerning this same account.
The graphical interface enabling the creation of users is done in The `Users management` section of the `Accounts` submenu.
For implementation, see:

4.3.8. LDAP integration / Active Directory

Authentication of the GCenter's user accounts can be managed by the GCenter as well as by a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.
Configuring the connection between the GCenter and the LDAP server is also done by the GCenter.
The main functions include:
  • Displaying the connection status

  • Enabling the connection to a remote authentication server

  • Managing connection information to a remote authentication server

  • Mapping of users and groups between the GCenter and the remote authentication server

  • Advanced configuration of the connection to a remote authentication server

The graphical interface enabling the creation of users is done in The `LDAP configuration` section of the `Accounts` submenu.
For implementation, see:

4.3.9. Audit trail

The system records the various actions carried out in the web interface over time, in order to ensure traceability.
This traceability is carried out for:
  • Users' connection or disconnection

  • Creating and deleting accounts

  • Changing the permissions of an account


4.3.9.1. Authentication history function

The history of all authentications on the GCenter is available.
To view the graphical interface presentation, see The `Authentications history` section of the `Accounts` submenu
For the implementation, refer to Viewing the authentication history.

4.3.9.2. Historical function of all creations or deletions

The history of all creations or deletions of GCenter users is available.
To view the graphical interface presentation, see The `Creations/Deletions history` section of the `Accounts` submenu.
For the implementation, refer to Viewing the history of user creations or deletions.

4.3.9.3. History function for all changes in user rights

The history of all user permissions on the GCenter is available.
To view the graphical interface presentation, see The `Permissions history` section of the `Accounts` submenu.
