PageGate Security Introduction Transcript
for Video:
Welcome to the tutorial on how to configure the
Security Options within the PageGate Admin.
The first step is to run the PageGate Admin,
so go to your start menu, go to Programs, find
the PageGate program group, and left click on
PageGate Admin.
Once in the Admin, left click on the + next to
Program.
Then click on the + next to Security and left
click on Users.
It is important to note that you should configure
at least one administrative user before enabling
the program security.
In the Security Users box, left click on the
Add button.
Unlike previous versions of PageGate, the security
in PageGate version 5 is based on usernames and
passwords that have individual permissions, rather
than passwords for blanket access to certain functions.
So, the first step is to give this security user
a username.
Remember, the first use you should configure
should always be your 'master' administrative
account.
Below the username field, you'll see a Use Windows
Login Credentials checkbox. This tells PageGate
that if the Windows login credentials that a user
is logged in with matches the credentials in PageGate,
to grant them access.
Typically, you do NOT want this enabled for your
master administrative account.
The next option is Alias. If you want this user
to have an alias as another user, select it from
the dropdown.
The next option is Display Group. If this is
set, this user will only ever see or be able to
modify or report on the members of the display
group they are locked to.
Below that is Sender. If you want to hard code
a sender's value that this user will always have
assigned to them regardless of the workstation
they log in on or what the client has as a sender's
name, enter it here.
Next is Station. If you want a unique Station
ID to be assigned to this user, enter it here.
Be sure not to use any number lower than 10.
Below that is Presets file. If you want to tie
this user to a specific presets file, rather than
use the options for whatever client they happen
to log in to, enter the full path to the presets
file here.
On the right hand side, you'll see the list of
possible rights to assign.
If Administrator is checked, this user will be
considered a PageGate Admin administrator and
will be given all rights to all functions.
THIS SHOULD BE ENABLED FOR YOUR MASTER ADMINISTRATIVE
ACCOUNT.
Below that is Interfaces. If this is enabled,
this user will be able to see and modify the interfaces
section of the PageGate Admin.
Below that is Connectors. If this is enabled,
the user will be able to see and modify the Connectors
section of the PageGate Admin.
Below that is Carriers. If this is enabled, the
user will be able to see and modify the Carriers
section of the PageGate Admin.
Below that is All Recipients. If this is enabled,
the user will be able to see and modify All Recipients
within PageGate Admin.
Below that is Own Recipients. If this is enabled,
the user will only be able to see and modify those
recipients which they've created or are marked
as the 'owner' of.
Below that is All Groups. If this is enabled,
the user will be able to see and modify All Groups
within PageGate Admin.
Below that is Own Groups. If this is enabled,
the user will only be able to see and modify Groups
which they've created or are marked as the 'owner'
of within PageGate Admin.
Below that is All Display Groups. If this is
enabled, the user will be able to see and modify
All Display Groups within PageGate Admin.
Below that is All Display Groups. If this is
enabled, the user will be able to see and modify
All Display Groups within PageGate Admin.
Next is Reports. If this is enabled, this user
will be able to run reports from the PageGate
Admin.
Next is Client Administrator. If this is enabled,
this user will be considered a PageGate Client
administrator and will be given all rights to
all functions within the Client.
THIS SHOULD BE ENABLED FOR YOUR MASTER ADMINISTRATIVE
ACCOUNT.
The final option is Client. If this is enabled,
this user may access the PageGate Client.
After setting your user's rights, permissions,
and settings, left click on Apply.
After adding all of your security users, left
click on Close.
Next, we need to enable the security, so go to
the Settings section under the Security there
on the left hand side.
In the base security settings, you'll notice
that we have two options:
Enable PageGate Admin Security and Enable GUI
Client Security.
If you wish to restrict access to sections and
functions of the PageGate Admin, enable the Admin
Security.
If you wish to restrict access to sections and
functions of the PageGate Client, enable the Client
Security.
If you wish to restrict access to sections and
functions of both programs, enable both options.
After setting your security preferences, left
click on Apply.
This concludes the tutorial on how to configure
the security options within the PageGate Admin.
