About the Project

The project’s aim is to define rules to restrict access to SOS contents on the operation and parameter level. An introduction to the project can be found here. This goal is achieved with a nice graphical user interface to enable the admin user to manage permissions for a particular enforcement point, which is the connection point for the client instead of the original SOS endpoint. Below are the resources which contain information about every bit and piece of the project

Creating a new Permission Set

A Permission set is defined as a set of permissions which restrict the use of a particular SOS instance's capabilities by allowing particular actions for the tagged user roles which are part of a permission. From the above definition it is quite evident that we need the following things for a successful application of a permission set

  • URI of the SOS end point whose capabilities are intended to be restricted
  • Domain of the configured user roles which are to be restricted
  • Defined permissions specifying the allowed operations for the selected user roles

The application may or may not come up with a default permission set depending upon how is it configured. To learn more refer to the configuration details. Below steps explain how to create a permission set

  • Click on the + button on the Timeseries Permission Manager page which redirects the user to a new page which looks like below
