Users and Security
Overview
The primary purpose of nVIRO is to support the needs of various user groups that rely on its services. Proper management of system users is essential to achieving this goal. This page and its child pages cover user management functions in nVIRO.
Types of Users
nVIRO has three main user groups: public users, external users, and internal users. Each of these groups has different levels of system access:
Public users do not have nVIRO accounts. They can only access certain public-facing features, such as nSITE Explorer, public notice search, and complaint submission. User management functions described in this section do not apply to public users.
External users are non-agency users with nVIRO accounts, such as members of the regulated community. They can apply for permits, submit reports, and download site-related documents. Typical external users include facility owners and their representatives, employees, and consultants.
Internal users are regulatory agency staff. Access for internal users is determined by their security groups and workgroups.
For nVIRO implementations that rely on Active Directory, users must be added to both Active Directory and nVIRO.
To manage user accounts, navigate to Admin > Users. For information about managing user accounts, see the User Management page.
User Security and Permissions
To access nVIRO, users must belong to either the nVIRO User or nVIRO Super User security group. Additional security groups may be assigned based on specific access needs.
User access to data is also controlled through program area assignments and workgroups. A sample set of security groups and user permissions is available here: .
For more information on provisioning user permissions, see the Security Groups page.
