Web Control Center Administration

As the System Administrator, you configure the Web Control Center Web site using the Administration Page (see Setting Up Web Control Center).

Displaying the Administration Page:

  1. Log on to the Web Control Center Web site using your System Administrator user name and password.
  2. Click on the Admin button in the navigation area on the top right. The page has three tabs, as described below.
  3. Click on one of the tabs to display the page containing the information you want to configure. See Entering and Updating information below.

The Administration Page Tabs

This page has three tabs:

Configuration

Customizes how Web Control Center displays your company name and E-Mail address.

Determines the length of inactivity (in seconds) that Web Control Center allows during a query before returning an error message and the length of inactivity allowed (in minutes) before Web Control Center automatically disconnects the user from the site. See Site configuration.

Defines the currency symbol displayed by the Upgrade Costing Wizard.

Note: This only changes site information within Web Control Center, it has no effect on the Centennial Discovery® Web Edition repository.

Security

Determines the security features of Web Control Center, including whether secure access is required to use Web Control Center. See Setting up the Security Features.

Users

Defines users and their access to the Web Control Center site. It is your responsibility to create users and assign access rights to them (see Setting Up User Information).

Web Control Center can be used by any member of your organization who has been set up as a Web Control Center user. The level of access is configurable, so that some users can only read information and generate reports, while others can update information or help manage the site. Web Control Center supports three types of user:

Administrator

Sets up Web Control Center and defines how specific users will view and use the site.

Power User

Power Users have the ability to request an audit on any registered system which doesn't currently have an audit request pending.

User

Performs queries and runs reports based on how the Administrator has set up the account.

Guest User

Performs queries and runs reports without having to log on to the site.

Note: Guest User status is automatically allocated to any anonymous user visiting the site. This type of access is only available if you specifically enable "Anonymous Access" on the Security tab.

Entering and Updating information

The Configuration and Security tabs display forms that you can edit. When you have changed the fields as required, click the Update button.

The Users tab displays a drop-down list of existing users.

  • To change the details for an existing user, select the user from the list and click the Update button. This displays a form with the current details. When you have changed the fields as required, click the Update button.
  • To add a new user, click the New button. This displays a blank form. When you have entered the details as required, click the Update button.
