The Security features of EnterConnect are based on the latest industry standards for user authentication and authorization. A designated admin in your company can easily define user entitlements, or roles, within the system-extending the value to your employees by empowering them with just the tools and content they need to view or access. Whether your company uses Active Directory or another security model, the flexibility of EnterConnect can support any number of standards, ranging from VPN authentication to SSL.
The benefit of a sound security model is the ability to administer the portal in a way that makes the most sense for your business, as well as for your users. That's why EnterConnect comes fully equipped with robust Administration features on both the IT and user levels. Take a look:
IT Administration
With EnterConnect, an administrator(s) you define within your organization can set user entitlements on several key levels. While the portal administrator has access to the entire directory structure within EnterConnect, he or she can:
- Project - Entitle specific employees with the ability to add and access their own project home pages; the admin can also select from a client-defined menu of roles within that project, such as Content Creator, to further limit or expand the portal capabilities of that user
- Community - Entitle certain employees with access to specific community home pages; often a community area may represent a department such as HR, Sales, or Marketing, and various types of employees can be granted varying levels of access to documents and content contained within the communities
- Content - Entitle user access to specific content types within the intranet/extranet portal
- Document - Entitle user access all the way down to the document level
User Administration
In addition to the flexible features for IT administrators, users also have the ability to perform profile changes and other tasks through an intuitive "My Administration" portlet, easily accessible on the user's EnterConnect home page. The features include:
- Edit My Profile - Users are one click away from a screen that contains their own profile information, pre-populated with data from the company's Active Directory or LDAP server; other information, such as Yahoo ID or photo, can be stored in the portal profile. Users may edit address and contact information as necessary, while their list of projects shown on the profile is editable only by a designated administrator or project manager.
- Change My Page Layout - Your organization can choose to allow all or just some employees to change the layout of their intranet/extranet desktop portal; those with access to this link in the My Administration portlet can perform tasks such as: rename pages, choose themes, choose a look and feel (if available as created by EnterConnect Professional Services), and edit the actual layout of a page such as changing columnar layout styles and adding and removing specific portlets.
- Create New Project - Users can create a new project and enter a title and description that will be used and accessed by all project team members. Users can select whether the entire company can view the project, or only specific employees or groups, which are also selected on the creation screen for that project. Once a project is created, the power of EnterConnect dynamically builds a home page for the project-complete with all of the standard project features as highlighted in Project/Program Collaboration-along with a new menu item visible to the added team members.
- Add User - Authorized employees designated by your company and entitled by the portal administrator are provided with the ability to add a new user to the EnterConnect intranet/extranet portal. These users can select attributes for the new users using picklists of groups and roles as defined by the organization (i.e., whereas "groups" may include employee, partner, client, or external; default "roles" can include executive, manager, content approver, viewer, leader, creator, or member)
