Security
The UConn Now pages are designed to use the user and application security model from FAMIS since it is technically sound and reduces the administrative burden on the IT staff. Each UConn Now subject area has an associated application in FAMIS. To create the application, navigate to the Self Service Application Settings and create an application that associates with the URL of the Uconn Now Subject Area as shown below.
To add user access enter the appropriate netid in the Application Users/Privileges area.
To update the Data Mart go to http://famis.uconn.edu/ and find the Data Mart Refresh item on the UConn Now Menu:
REFRESH_MART_SECURITY is usually the last item in the Data Mart Refresh list. Click on the REFRESH_MART_SECURITY word.
A progress message displays while the security data is being refreshed.
When complete, the date on the REFRESH_MART_SECURITY line will be more up to date.
There is a PHP file, /connections/verification.php, that can be used to check for proper user permissions.
An example of checking for READ permission (this does not have to be just READ but indicates a particular state for the particular UConn Now subject area):
$access = checkReadSecurity($whoAmI, 'UCONN_NOW_CREW_SUPERS');
The results of this call will be TRUE or FALSE.
And example of checking for UPDATE permission (this does not have to be just UPDATE but indicates a particular state for the particular UConn Now subject area):
$access = checkUpdateSecurity($whoAmI, 'UCONN_NOW_CREW_SUPERS');
The results of this call will be TRUE or FALSE.
