7. UserModel Management

7.1. Local Users and Groups

Local users and groups can be configured in the WebUI under “Settings” -> “UserModel Management”. A user is part of one group. Access rights are defined for a specific group.

The following groups are defined by default and cannot be deleted:

  • Administrator

  • UserModel

Also, a user cannot delete itself.

7.2. Access Rights

Access Rights can be configured for a usergroup and are designed hierachically. Please see the following example:

# base right for whole application
base.*

# right for core framework
base.framework.*

# right for accessing objects
base.framework.object.*

# right for viewing objects
base.framework.object.view

# right for adding objects
base.framework.object.add

If you add the right “base.framework.object.view” to a usergroup, all users of that group have the right of viewing objects. If the right “base.framework.object.*” is applied, all subsequent rights like “base.framework.object.view” are also applied.

A list of rights can be found in the WebUI of DATAGERRY.

The following rights are necessary to use the frontend:

base.framework.object.view
base.framework.type.view
base.framework.category.view
base.framework.log.view
base.user-management.user.view
base.user-management.group.view
base.docapi.template.view

3. Getting Started

3.1. Concept of DATAGERRY

DATAGERRY is an asset management tool (or CMDB), where you can define the data model for your own.

In DATAGERRY objects are stored. An object can be for example a router, server, location or maintenance contract and consists of multiple fields (e.g. management IP, hostname, … of a router). Each field has a specific data type. A datatype could be for example text, checkbox, date, dropdown or many more. The blueprint for an object is defined in an object type.

Object Types are the blueprints for objects. They define the following details for all objects of that type:

  • fields and their datatype

  • object type icon

  • object type name

  • external links

The object type definition can be changed at any time, even if objects of that type already exists. In DATAGERRY we ensure, that only fields that are defined in the type definition were shown.

3.2. Quick Start

To get started with DATAGERRY, do the following steps:

  • Add a new Category for Objects (menu: Framework -> Category)

  • Add a new Object Type (menu: Framework -> Types)

  • Add Objects for your Object Type (menu: Framework -> Objects)
