Module Permissions and Single Sign On Within NetEye

NetEye modular architecture allows to integrate third-party modules to increase its functionalities. However, accessing some module in NetEye may require a dedicated user, proper of the module. This situation therefore implies that to carry out some activities within NetEye different users are required: one for NetEye itself, one for the module.

In order to ease access to all third-party modules installed on NetEye 4, the Single Sign On (SSO) functionality has been implemented for a few modules and will be soon extended to other. This chapter describes how module permissions work in NetEye and then presents the SSO’s underlying logic.

Users, Roles, and Module Permissions

In this section we define and quickly outline the main properties and interaction of Users, roles, and permissions on modules.

  1. A User is an account that allows to login to NetEye and can have different Roles.

  2. A Role is a set of permissions on one or multiple modules.

  3. A Permission on a module is a rule that define the level of access to a module. Modules offer usually different levels of access; there are however two permissions common to every module:

    • Full Module Access grants administrative access to the module. In other words, every functionality of the module is available.

    • General Module Access permits only to see the module in the menu, but is a requirement to assign other permissions, if available for that module.

  4. A Restrictions allow to specify one or more subsets of either allowed actions, or accessible entities for the Role.

    Except these two permissions Full Module Access and General Module Access, each module can have extra permissions and restrictions. Those are defined in their respective modules and explained how to use them.

Note

If a user has more than one Role, the “merging” behaviour is up to each module

Single Sign On Architecture

The SSO mechanism implemented in NetEye allows one to log in to NetEye with a unique user, call it john-acme, and access all modules configured for SSO, provided the role associated to john-acme, has the corresponding permissions on those modules.

If john-acme has role with the permission to access the SSO-enabled module, when first time he tries to access module from neteye, a new profile for john-acme will be created automatically with defined permission and restriction in the module.
