Quick Start - Give Users Access to Stratum.Viewer

Anyone that needs access to Stratum.Viewer will need to have a role, user profile, and user profile group plus have at least one view group assigned to their user profile group.

Here is a typical path taken for setting up access. The process is flexible and these steps can be performed in a different order depending on your preference and what definitions related to this set up already exist at the time you add a new user. For example, if a user profile group already exists, you can use that group for the new user if it meets the user's needs within the application. Or, if a suitable role exists, you can use that role for this user.

Add a view group(s) using the View Group Maintenance window.

  • Skip this step if view groups that are suitable for the new user already exist.

  • Access the View Group list window by clicking Manage Things then View Group from the main menu in the top panel of Stratum.

  • Click New  to open the View Group Maintenance window and set up the group.
