Access Management Sidebar Menu Item

On this page, a Nodinite Administrator learns how to navigate and manage the Access Management sub-menu within the Administration sidebar, as seen in the Nodinite Web Client. The 'Access Management' sub-menu is a crucial tool for managing access rights for roles, users, and Windows AD Groups. This sub-menu includes entities such as Roles, Users and Windows AD Groups.

Take control of your integration environment with Nodinite's Access Management. This feature empowers you to:

✅ Enforce security policies and compliance
✅ Manage access for roles, users, and AD groups
✅ Streamline administration with a user-friendly interface

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Users and Windows AD Groups?

Users are individually managed accounts within Nodinite. Use when:

  • You have external users (partners, vendors) not in your AD
  • You need fine-grained control over specific individuals
  • You don't have Active Directory integration

Windows AD Groups leverage your existing AD infrastructure. Use when:

  • You want automatic provisioning based on AD group membership
  • You need to maintain access control in one place (AD)
  • You have many users with similar permissions

Can one user have multiple roles?

Yes! Users can be assigned multiple Roles, and permissions are cumulative. For example:

  • User assigned to "Business User" role gets read access
  • Same user assigned to "Developer" role gets Repository Model access
  • User has both sets of permissions

How do I revoke access quickly in an emergency?

Options:

  1. Disable the User - Immediate access revocation
  2. Remove Role assignment - Remove specific permissions
  3. Modify the Role - Change what all role members can access

What's the principle of least privilege?

Grant users only the minimum permissions needed for their job function. For example:

  • Business users: Access to their Log Views only, not all integrations
  • Developers: Test/Dev environment access, not Production
  • Operations: Full monitoring access, but no configuration changes

How do I audit who has access to what?

Use Log Audits to track:

  • Who accessed which Log Views
  • Who performed configuration changes
  • Who executed Remote Actions
  • When permissions were modified
