DoseControl Software - User Access
User access means how a user can access (login) to the DoseControl software.
User Access options
The System Admin or global administrator must setup the method for user to login to the DoseControl software.
Basic (no username/password): In Basic setup, there is no username and password requirement at login. Enabling this option will require the user to simply push the “Login” button to open DoseControl and is designed for single PC installations with a Basic software license using SQL Server Express. This user access method will record the domain and username from Microsoft Windows as the user for the audit trail in the application, and only the date and time of all logins and logouts is retained since there is only one user.
Basic User Manager is not 21 CFR part 11 compliant.
DoseControl User Manager: In the MS SQL user access setup, user roles and permissions are managed by the DoseControl application System Administrator (onboard). The DoseControl System Admin can setup users and passwords, assign roles, make users active/inactive. DoseControl has AES-256 bit encryption
LDAP: In the LDAP user management option, DoseControl allows access to users with their corporate network username. This means a user can simply login to Windows (using their corporate username/password) and the DoseControl software will open for this user. This method uses an existing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) within a company network (typically Active Directory) and DoseControl users are managed by IT personnel. Control access to the computer via the Windows user lock-out feature to maintain 21 CFR part 11 compliant security.
Explicit LDAP – In the Explicit LDAP method, the user will login to DoseControl software with their LDAP username/password. DoseControl will prompt the user to enter this username/password. This method uses an existing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol/Active Directory technology within a company network and users are managed by IT personnel using Active Directory technology. Use DoseControl’s user lock-out feature to maintain 21 CFR part 11 compliant security.
Your company’s IT department will need to assist with the setup of LDAP user manager. This involves setting up a Microsoft Active Directory Universal Security Group for DoseControl and sub-groups within that user group to match the three DoseControl user roles (System Admin, Application Admin, Technician).
