Access security

The purpose of access security is to avoid unauthorized user access to the UNICORN system.

User access is often restricted by means of a password. There are some password rules that are important keep in mind:

• The password must have a minimum number of characters. The minimum length is defined when UNICORN is installed, see How to install UNICORN and How to install UNICORN for ÄKTAxpress.

• The password should be changed regularly if access security is very important. See How to change user passwords and user attributes.

Each user is assigned to an access group that defines

• the operations that the user can perform

• the folders the user is allowed to access.

Access groups are described in How to assign user properties.

When you install UNICORN, a default user with full access rights is automatically created. For system security reasons the default user must be deleted when you have created the site-specific users.

To maintain system security, only the system administrator should be allowed to carry out administrative routines such as user definition and system definition.
