Configuring Lockdown System Actions

You can configure lockdown system actions in the Organization Browser to allow different users access to different Openspace features.

There are some system actions that you can use to associate one or more Openspace features to.
  • openspaceFeatureSetA
  • openspaceFeatureSetB
  • openspaceFeatureSetC

However, you can associate any system actions with any Openspace features and add as many as you require. For example, you may want different types of users to have access to different Openspace features. In an insurance company, for example, you may have the following types of users; customer service representatives, managers, administrators. The following table shows how you might want to lockdown Openspace features depending on these types of users.

Openspace Features Customer Service Representative Managers Administrators
showResetSettings Disable Enable Enable
showLogoutButton Disable Enable Enable
showAddTab Disable Enable Enable
allowPrefPanel Disable Enable Enable
showFullGadgetMenu Disable Disable Enable
allowMinRestoreAll Enable Enable Enable
enableWelcomePage Disable Disable Disable
max10Tabs Enable Disable Disable

Procedure

  1. From Openspace, go to the Organization Browser. Assign the following system actions to the different types of users:
    Users System Actions
    Customer Service Representatives 
    OS, openspaceFeatureSetA
    Managers 
    OS, opensapceFeatureSetA 
OS, opensapceFeatureSetB
    Administrators 
    WSB, applicationConfiguration
OS, opensapceFeatureSetA 
OS, opensapceFeatureSetB
OS, opensapceFeatureSetC
  2. Associate the system actions with Openspace features as shown in the table below:
    System Actions Openspace Features 
    OS, openspaceFeatureSetA
    		 
    allowMinRestoreAll
    		 
    OS, openspaceFeatureSetB
    		 
    showResetSettings
showLogoutButton
showAddTab
allowPrefPanel
    		 
    OS, openspaceFeatureSetC
    		 
    max10Tabs
    		 
    WSB, applicationConfiguration
    		 
    showFullGadgetMenu
  3. Open the config.properties file (see Openspace Configuration Overview for the location of this file) in a text editor and amend the lockdown properties as follows: 
    lockdown.1=OS,openspaceFeatureSetA
lockdown.2=OS,openspaceFeatureSetB
lockdown.3=OS,openspaceFeatureSetC
lockdown.4=WSB,applicationConfiguration
lockdown.showResetSettings=lockdown.2
lockdown.showLogoutButton=lockdown.2
lockdown.showAddTab=lockdown.2
lockdown.allowPrefPanel=lockdown.2
lockdown.showFullGadgetMenu=lockdown.4
lockdown.allowMinRestoreAll=lockdown.1
lockdown.enableWelcome=false
lockdown.max10Tabs=!lockdown.3
    Note: In this example, lockdown.4 is granted the WSB, applicationConfiguration system action. The WSB, applicationConfiguration system action is typically granted to Administrators who are allowed privileged functions, such as Manage Settings. In this example only the Administrators would get the full gadget menu. Out-of-the-box, only the tibco-admin user is granted this system action.
