Authorization

Once an identity is authenticated, it must be authorized.

AgilePoint NX uses an authorization system based on access rights that can be applied to a user, group, or role.

• Individual users or groups can be members of a role.
• Each member of a role possesses all the privileges granted to the role. If a person is a member of multiple roles, he or she will possess the sum of all the access rights associated with the different roles.
• Once users are authenticated to AgilePoint, AgilePoint Server checks their rights based on their roles to determine if they have permission specific tasks.
• AgilePoint NX supports application permissions. These permissions provide built-in roles, such as system administrator or application designer, that give authorization at the application level. Additional administrator-defined roles can be created to meet the needs of the application.
