Managers of User Data (hereinafter, the Lectio) is the lesson part of the CNM Cabin Essentials lesson that introduces its participants to CNM Cabin. This lesson belongs to the CNM Cyber for Experience session of the CNM Cyber Welcome Course.
Content
The predecessor lectio is What CNM Cabin Is.
Key terms
- User account. In systems engineering, a system document that authorizes a particular end-user to access and use this system. From the user perspective, a user account is the means by which this user can access the system.
- Username (login name, account name, handle, or, rarely, ID). The humanly-readable name of user account that the end-user utilizes to access that account. A username is an essential part of user data.
- Password (passcode). Any string of characters that is used to confirm user's identity. The NIST Digital Identity Guidelines defines a password as "the secret is memorized by a party called the claimant while the party verifying the identity of the claimant is called the verifier. When the claimant successfully demonstrates knowledge of the password to the verifier through an established authentication protocol, the verifier is able to infer the claimant's identity.
Managers of User Records
Managers of User Records is the second lectio out of six ones that make up the Lesson.
Lectio 2 presentation
- There are two parties that manage records of those who use CNM Cyber. That includes your records.
- The first party is you. You provided CNM Cabin with your login name and password in order to create your account. Now, CNM Cabin can help you manage your profile and preferences through CNM Cabin's dashboard.
- The word, Cabin, in the service's name, indicates that this service provides you with a separate and private space where you can interact with CNM Cyber as a whole.
- The overwhelming majority of records such as your exam scores or wikipage edits are collected automatically, through the algorithms that systems administrators manage.
- So, the administrators are the other party. CNM Cabin helps them manage 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.
The successor lectio is System-User Roles.
