Principals
are entities in the system. User is a name for a single atomic
entity for which you can define what it can or cannot edit, view
and whether it can use the XpoLog center. In order to use XpoLog
in secure mode you
need to have a user name and password for the system to recognize
you. A group is a logical collection of both users and other groups,
where both a user and a group can be associated (be member of)
with other groups. Groups allow you to define and
modify sets of permissions for more then one user or group.
This mechanism enables you an easier methodology of security management.
For each
principal you can associate a policy. The principal will have
security permissions according to its policy definitions. If no policy
is
associated to the principal then the policy will be taken by
default
from a parent principal or from the system default policy.
