Install, Access, and Connect the Security Console

The Security Console is an interface to authorize active staff members to use the features in Anthology Student and its integrated products (such as Regulatory).

You can also use it to control access to the data in fields by adding security to their corresponding properties in the database. To view or manage security, you must install the Security Console.

Prerequisites

To access the Security Console, you must be:

  • Added as a staff member to Anthology Student using the Staff Members page in Anthology Student (Select the Settings tile > locate System > select Staff > Staff Members tab.)

  • Assigned to the Web Client Security Administrators or Administrator group in the Security Console

With the role, the staff member can manage security in the database without having access to other tables.

Install the Security Console

The Security Console is a desktop application that you must first install to use. You can install it using ClickOnce or Installation Manager. We recommend that you use the ClickOnce install.

When installed using ClickOnce, the Security Console will check for upgrades each time the tool is launched and will automatically upgrade to the latest version.

Access and Connect the Security Console

  1. On your desktop, select the icon for the Security Console. The Security Console displays the Connect dialog.

  2. Specify your Anthology Student sign in.

  3. Select the Connect button. The Security Console connects to the specified version of Anthology Student.

Authorize Staff Members to Manage Security Using the Console

Once you have access to the Security Console, give yourself and any other staff members you want to manage security access to tasks specific to security (such as the permission to clear the security cache).

If you want to grant access to:

  • Only security related features, add the staff members to Web Client Security Administrators group

  • The security related features and all of the features in Anthology Student, add the staff members to Administrators group

These groups are managed within the Security Console.
