Security

[IBRAHIMALALI]

Good day all,

I want a question regarding the security , as you know there is multi authorization bits (limited to 32 authorization bit ) , Is there any way to extend the number of bits . As what i am doing is using the panel topology (User permission) to allow the user accordingly to see a group of panels or no , and in my case I have multiple system which the possibilities will be more than 100 .

There is no possibility to change the number of permission bits.
In the user administration the permission bits are assigned to user groups. A user is then added to a user group.

Are you sure that you will have more than 32 different user groups?

Thanks for the response .
Yes I will need more than 32 bits as I have in the project more than 80 systems and , want to use the authorization bits for this purpose to give each system operators an authorization bit to be able to use the panel topology etm tree template such that the users of one of the systems can only see the corresponding panels . If you could suggest another method , this will be very helpful as we haven't go deep in security philosophy yet ,

The number of systems is not of interest in this case from my point of view.
A panel topology only contains information for the local system. If a user wants to see panels defined in the topology in one system he has to start a UI with connection to this specific system. Otherwise the user does not have access to the panels and the topology.

You could define an area for your group of panels and use 'getUserPermissionForArea' to determine if the user has permission for this group of panels.
The name of this area could be the system name (or prefixed with it).
