Role Based Access Control

Role-based access control is a way to assign different levels of access to the users that define the features they can access.

RBAC is supported by MasterPact MTZ and ComPacT NSX circuit breakers only.

Access to the IFE interface is checked by RBAC mechanism when the connection is made through:

IFE interface webpages
EcoStruxure Power Commission (EPC) software

For information about enabling RBAC when the connection is made through EPC software, refer to IP Network Services .

The following roles are defined for remote access by default:

The security administrator assigns a role to each of the users. Each role includes a set of permissions for the IFE interface users.

The security administrator can manage the users of IFE interface:

Cybersecurity Admin Expert (CAE) software is used for security configuration of the IFE interface with firmware version 004.009.000 and later.

The security administrator can use CAE software to:

NOTE:

Enable HTTPS for secure transfer of configurations from CAE software to IFE interface.
Enable DPWS for discovery of the IFE interface on CAE software.

The security administrator can set the following parameters in the CAE software:

Parameter	Description	Value
Minimum inactivity period	After this duration without any action from the user, IFE interface webpages are locked.	Range: 1–3600 s Default value: 600 s
Maximum login attempts	The maximum login attempts	Range: 1–32 Default value: 3
Locking period duration	After this duration the locked user account will be unlocked.	Range: 0–3600 s Default value: 60 s
LoggingPolicy	Enabled to enable the user account	Default setting: Disabled
	SyslogServerIPAddress to enter the server IP address of the Syslog server.	–
	SyslogServerport to enter the Syslog server port number.	Range: 1–65534 Default value: 601
Device measure read permission	Enabled while creating a role.	Default setting: Disabled

NOTE: CAE software supports a maximum of 12 users and 10 user roles for the IFE Interface.

The security administrator can modify the permissions for each role using the CAE software.

The following table describes the permissions allowed for each role by default:
