Default Security Model

When you first install CA DataMinder, only one security model is active. This is the default security model, Management Group (Standard). Note the following:

Users are automatically assigned to default security model

When a CA DataMinder user account is first created, the user is automatically assigned to the default model. (Technically, the user is assigned to the default user role, which in turn assigns the default security model to the user).

If you subsequently make other security models active on your CMS, you can link the user to a different model.

If you remove a non-default security model, any reviewers still assigned to this model will revert to the default security model.

The default security model can be modified

If required, you can change the model type. For example, you can change the default model to Policy (Standard) or Management Group (Standard, Self-exclude).

If you change the model type, its name as shown in the Administration console will change accordingly.

The default security model cannot be removed

Unlike other security models active on your CMS, you cannot remove the default security model.

User roles have default security models

Each user role has its own 'default security model'. Each user assigned to the role inherits this model.

This can be any security model active on the CMS, and can be different to the actual default security model.

Administrator role uses the Unrestricted security model

By default, the Administrator role uses the Unrestricted security model. Users assigned to this security model have no management group.

Consequently, administrators have no management group and their administrative authority extends to all users. An administrator's authority is not restricted to specific user groups.
