Data Watcher users - NEW! 🚀

In Data Watcher, three types of users must be configured:

  • Superusers
  • Administratos
  • Simple Users

Superusers

Data One and Data Watcher have the same Superusers!

Administrators

To configure a Data Watcher Administrator:

Warning!
You must be a Superuser to configure Data Watcher Administrators!

  1. Go to Setup → Users & Groups.
  2. Go to the Internal Users tab and click the New User button.
  3. In the dialog window, fill in the edit boxes to create your user.
  4. In the GROUPS edit box, select the group of Data Watcher Administrators to which your user must belong. If it does not exist, you must create it – see details below.
  5. Go to the Permissions tab and assign Read CONFIG permission and Read + Write DATAWATCHER permissions. To assign permissions, switch the toggle button to ON.
    🚀 Starting from TF8, new permissions have been added for Data Watcher when it is in a bundle with Data Mover. See permissions starting with DW on the Creating internal users page. To ensure compatibility with earlier versions of the software, the DATAWATCHER permission remains in the list and is only overwritten if at least one permission from the new list (i.e. the one starting with DW) is selected.
    To detect permissions quickly, you can use the filter at the top of the window.
  6. Click the SAVE button to confirm.

You do not have an Internal Group for your Data Watcher Administrators? Follow these steps to configure it:

  1. Go to Setup → Users & Groups.
  2. Go to the Internal Groups tab and click the New Group button.
  3. In the dialog window, assign a name to the Group and select the User or Users that will belong to it.
  4. Go to the Permissions tab and assign Read CONFIG permission and Read + Write Data Watcher permissions. To assign permissions, switch the toggle button to ON.
  5. Click the SAVE button to confirm.

Once you have the Users and their Group ready, you must run the ./dwt.sh -globcfg command to add the group to the security.admin.groups. You have successfully created your Data Watcher Administrator users.

As Administrators, the users will not have limitations in using Data Watcher and will access the Cut-off calendars and Dataflow Attributes sections as well.

Simple Users

You can configure Data Watcher Simple Users by following these steps:

  1. As Superuser, go to Setup → Users & Groups and create a New User with Read CONFIG permission and Read + Write DATAWATCHER permissions.
  2. The user must belong to a PRIMEUR Data Watcher Group of Users that must have the same permissions as the Users.

To check that the configuration is correct, log into PRIMEUR Data One with the newly created user. To check that access is limited to simple user, verify that the Cut-off calendars and Dataflow Attributes cards are not listed in the Setup section.

To sum up, these are the groups, permissions and commands that the 2 different users must have:
