RTView offers role based security that allows you to limit access to displays based on the user's role (see “Roles and Displays” for more information). To use this security feature, you must define the users that can access RTView and assign each one a password and one or more associated roles. The role definitions allow you to specify which displays users can access. User and role definitions also support substitutions. In addition, the user name and password from the RTView login can also be passed into data sources that have the Use Client Credentials option enabled. See “Configuration” for more information.
Note: Some data sources do not support this feature. For information on Application Options for your data source, refer to the Data Sources section of this documentation.
Role-based security is available in the following RTView components:
§ Display Builder
§ Configuration Utility
§ Display Viewer Application
§ Display Viewer Applet
§ Display Server
This feature is intended to reduce the possibility of user information being accessed unintentionally, but does not secure displays against users with malicious intent.
