Script

CNM Cabin controls your access to various resources such as applications, networks, and services. You have started here, at CNM Cyber, as a newbie with minimal rights. The more you learn here, the more system access permissions CNM Cabin grants.

To accomplish that task, CNM Cabin assigns every user with his or her system-user role. For instance, any user of the World Wide Web has NetAnyone's rights at CNM Cyber. He or she can view pages of CNM Page, CNM Tube, and CNM Wiki, but cannot edit anything. CertStudents are enrolled into this very welcome course, as well as can post comments on CNM Page and CNM Tube. CertUser's can join communities at CNM Social, and so on.

Some permissions such as appointing other administrators and alternating the algorithms must be done manually. The bulk of user permissions at CNM Cyber are granted automatically. In cyber-security, user management operations are called identity and access management (IAM).

Federated vs System Roles is the successor lectio.
