Interact restrictions

This section covers user’s rights, process field limitations & access levels.

User rights

  • User Groups – Allows for locally created users to be placed in user groups. User groups could be created according to department e.g. finance, HR or by user group purpose e.g. Developers, IT Support etc.
  • Process Categories – Process categories can be assigned to users which allows for restrictions to be implemented as to the level of access a user has to the processes on Interact.
  • LDAP Sync – Allows for Interact to integrate with an organization’s active directory using an LDAP connection. User names and passwords and user groups are inherited from the LDAP sync.
  • Password Management – As soon as a user has been created on Interact, an automated email will be sent to the user’s email address (using the specified SMTP settings). This email will provide the user with their username and will prompt them to create their password. Password management therefore resides with the end user and is not stored locally within Interact.

Interact accessibility

Interact has three layers of access that can be implemented:

  • Web Server only access
  • Platform only access
  • Access to Interact that is external from the platform

If the URL is set to “localhost” and the assigned port is closed on the NSG, Interact will only be accessible from the Web Server. If the URL is set to the hostname e.g. http://gbazssws01:<port>/login and the assigned port is opened on the NSG to point to the IP’s of the platform, Interact will be accessible from across the platform. To make Interact externally accessible, the NSG rule to open the Interact port needs to either point to a network IP or set to any to make it publicly accessible.
