Configuring the Access Control Policies

Introduction to the Access Control

The Access Control screen allows you to control which users/managers have access to what information on the Teramind Dashboard and the settings they are allowed to change. On Teramind, access control is implemented through policies. A policy is composed of the following elements:

• Privileged Users: They are the users/managers who monitor certain groups of people (Target Users/Subjects). 

• Target Users / Subjects: These are the regular users monitored by the Privileged Users.
• Permission: Defines what the privileged user can do with the information of the Target Users under their responsibility. The permission is grouped into Play, View, Edit and Access Widgets categories.

The main window of the Access Control screen shows a list of policies, privileges and the subjects they manage. You can create a new policy or edit an existing one from this window.
