Overview – Create and Manage Users and Response Teams

Creating and Managing Users

Head over to Admin -> Users.

 

This is where you select who should have access to Web ViewPoint Enterprise and its selected features.

Note: “Enforce-Security” parameter needs to be set to “YES” on NonStop for this feature to be applicable. Otherwise, all NonStop users will have access to WVP Enterprise and all its features. However, they will still be restricted to what their Guardian user id entitle them to.

User Types

WVP E users are divided into two types:

  1. Manager – This type of users has access to all features and can perform all user maintenance and access authorization functions.
    1. A Manager may add/update/delete users of either Manager or Staff Type.
    2. A Manager can change a Staff user into a Manager.
    3. First Manager user is set at initial installation, where the installer is asked to identify the guardian user id (Group.User) of a Manager Type.
  1. Staff – This Type of users can be restricted to specific features.

Simply navigate to Admin -> Response Team for configuring a user for the Response Team.

On the new popup Window, enter the following information for the new user:

  • Phone Carrier: Click on the drop down and select from the available mobile carrier (Note: if desired carrier is not in the list you can add it via Admin – Phone Carriers section).
  • Status: Click to toggle user from Active to Inactive.
  • For: Select the NonStop Servers the user should receive Alerts from.

Click on the Save button when done. You can also edit/delete the user as per your preferences later through the Response Team List.
