Administration overview


Administration areas

The table below describes the three main areas of UNICORN administration:

Area

Concerns

System administration

  • maintenance of software aspects of UNICORN, including

    definition of connected systems, see System definitions.

    monitoring of system usage (audit trails), see Audit trails.

  • routine monitor calibration, see Calibration.

User administration

authorization of access to the system, see User administration.

Note: The responsible should be one person or a small group, at least in larger installations.

Network administration

maintenance of the network functions relevant to UNICORN, see Network setup.

Note: In a network installation, this is normally carried out by the computer staff responsible for the company's network.

Actions before the UNICORN program can be used

When UNICORN has been installed, the administrator must perform the actions in this table before other users can use the program:

Step

Action

1

Set up system definitions for the chromatography systems, see System definitions.

2

Define new users with home folders, access groups and access profiles, see User administration.

Note: The above actions can be performed from any station in a network installation. The administrator must be logged on to the network from the workstation so that the changes apply globally throughout the network.
