ApplicationXtender 20.3 Administrator Enhancement: Role-based access
Video Transcript
I am going to showing some of the cool new features in ApplicationXtender Administrator 20.3.
In the normal AX Administrator interface, when you log in to AX admin, you have the option of logging in directly to your data source or to Global Administration. When you do so, Global Administration gives you every node to work through all the various elements of AX Administrator.
The addition of 20.3 is the ability to login directly to only the node that you want to administrate to simplify the interface. For example, if I only want to deal with everything under the application manager, I will select that and then login.
You will notice, there is much less clutter. There is less for me to deal with here.
So in this case, I have only these different elements. If I logout and select a different node, now I have got this additionally streamlined interface dealing only with - in this case - user management. Each of these different nodes has its own advantages. For example, the resource monitor is very handy.
And when login there, I can see only the different elements that deal with looking at the resources. When I want to see everything, I once again simply login to the Global Administrator and I find all my options.
Another advantage of this new addition to AX Administrator is that you can limit roles to being only to access certain nodes. For example, under roles management, I have various roles types. In this case, we'll use the example resource monitor, I have added one user, resource monitor. I'll show you now how that works.
I log out of my sysop admin account and log in as a resource monitor. If I have selected the Global Administrator, I am going to receive an error.
The current user does not have the role - Global Administrator. If I log in only to the resource monitor node, then I will be able to log in and see what that user can do. It is limited to just reporting and monitoring.
That's all for this video. Thanks for watching it.
