User Rights Management
Establish your user rights management security criteria
An advantage of building the Vertigo Suite user rights management (URM) model around
Microsoft’s Authorization Manager technologies is the flexibility that it affords to system
administrators to design and implement a security design that is appropriate to the
organization’s specific workflow and security needs. As such, each organization’s URM
system will contain tasks and roles that are unique to the way in which the organization is
structured and operates. Nonetheless, there are a couple of relative constants that will be
apparent in all Vertigo Suite URM models. More specifically, the original set of operation
definitions and role definitions that are installed with the VertigoXmedia application are the
foundation upon which system administrators will build their organization’s security design
(see
“VertigoXmedia Application, operations, and task definitions” on page 19-4
for more
information).
Before you begin to set up your organization’s URM system, we recommend that you
consider and/or perform the following preliminary tasks:
1.
Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the operations that are pre-packaged with the
VertigoXmedia application.
2.
Determine the organization’s general security design and policies. For example,
determine what content or actions will you want to restrict and from whom.
3.
Based upon your organization’s security design and policies, what roles and tasks will
be required.
Once these design decisions are made, you can proceed with confidence that the URM
system that you implement will effectively meets your organization’s needs.
