The primary purpose of nVIRO is to serve the needs of various user groups that utilize the services it provides. To support this objective, proper management of the users that interact with the system is of paramount importance. This help topic and its related subtopics cover the user-management functions in nVIRO.
Types of Users
Three main user groups use the nVIRO system: public users, external users, and internal users. Each of these groups has different levels of access to and visibility within the system.
Public users can only access public-facing features such as the Site Explorer and public notice search. These users do not have user accounts in the system and so the user management functions described in these pages do not apply to them.
External users are those users who need access to the system to work with one or more permitted facilities. Typically, these users are facility owners and/or their representatives, permittees, consultants, etc.
Internal users are staff members of the regulatory agency for which nVIRO has been implemented. Internal users can access different parts of the system according to the security groups and workgroups of which they are members.
Note that, for nVIRO installations that rely on Active Directory, the user must be added to both Active Directory and to nVIRO.
User accounts are managed under Admin > Users. For details about managing user accounts, see User Management.
