Server

The following tables list the tasks that users can perform on servers.

Servers can be assigned to departments and they can have a public or private visibility. Super administrators will be the only one who can perform the tasks of creating and configuring servers and assigning them to the particular department.

Department administrators cannot add servers. Department administrators can list all servers defined to their departments and all servers assigned to the departments they can manage. Department administrators can update servers assigned to their departments or the departments they can manage.

Assigning private visibility to a server means that it can be set as the server for a file transfer for a particular department. The servers can be associated with this server for public and private users or groups in his own department and the departments that his department administrator can manage. Assigning public visibility to a server means that in addition to the features granted by private visibility the server can also be set as the server name in a file transfer assigned to another department. Public visibility also means that a server can be associated with this server for public users and groups belonging to another department. A server can only belong to one department in the system. The administrator can choose not to assign the server to a department, but this offers no special properties to the server.

UpdateServerRight enables a user to update and view servers. ViewServerRight enables a user to view a server.
