Users in the DTR
User Authentication
User authentication in the DTR is done by the User Management Engine (UME).
Privileges
The execution of particular tasks is coupled to elementary rights, the so-called privileges, for example, reading, writing or checking in files. Privileges are independent of one another: The right to write does not automatically include the right to read.
Types of Privileges
● grant: Allows you to execute a certain right.
● deny: Denies you to execute a certain right.
● final: This restriction cannot be overwritten.
Absence of a deny privilege cannot be interpreted as a grant.
