Manage Project Security

Introduction

Security can be set to control access to:

  • projects

  • collections

  • networks.

Security can also be set for Structured Data Source Connections. See Define a Data Source Connection.

Project Security

Primary security control is set at the project level, where you can control who can:

  • access to the project

  • have full control over the project

  • modify the collections and networks in a project

  • modify the configurations in a project.

The secondary security control is restricting access to an individual collection or network in addition to the above controls.

Security Model

Administrators can create a Customised Security Model if required to set different security standards.

See Customise the Security Model for more information.

Administrator Access

In the Sintelix Default Security Model there are no restrictions on administrators accessing projects, collections, networks or configurations.

If access has been restricted, the Restricted icon is shown and the administrator has access.

The administrator will not see the Insufficient Privileges icon.
