Understand workspaces, roles, and privileges in SystemLink Enterprise.

  • Automatic data encapsulation—The process of data being stored in the same workspace as the system that produces it. Along with defining roles and privileges, this process helps keep data organized and ensures users only see the data relevant to them.
  • Workspace—Grouping of systems, data, and other resources that server administrators define to control how users interact with SystemLink Enterprise. A workspace also contains users assigned to roles. When systems in a workspace produce data, the same workspace automatically stores that data.
  • Default workspace—Workspace created when SystemLink installs.
  • Role—Set of privileges you want to assign to one or more users. Workspaces usually contain multiple roles. You can use the same role in multiple workspaces.
  • User—Person with access to some part of SystemLink Enterprise. Users can have multiple roles in multiple workspaces. When a user is assigned a role in a workspace, they can use the SystemLink web application and SystemLink REST APIs to access the systems and data within that workspace.
  • Privilege—Action a user can do when using a SystemLink Enterprise application or service.
  • Mapping—Connection you specify between a user and a role.
