Step 4. Configuration of User Login Credentials

User Login Configuration in users.xml

  1. For testing and development purposes, you can configure users, roles, and passwords in the pano-mount/data/panoviz/appdata/users.xml file.
  2. Save and close the users.xml file. It is possible to edit the file while the Docker containers are running, and the changes will be effective without restarting the containers.

 

Associate User Roles with Panopticon Functional Roles

All authentication-related settings should be made in the pano-mount/data/panoviz/appdata/security.yml file. The server creates a template for this file when it starts if it’s not already there.

  1. A Panopticon user is either a Viewer, a Designer, an Administrator, or a combination of Designer and Administrator. In the pano-mount/data/panoviz/appdata/security.yml file, usernames and user role names can be associated with these functional roles by setting values on these properties:

    access:
    administrator.groups: pano-administrator-group, admin, pano-administrator
    designer.groups: pano-designer-group, designer, pano-designer
    viewer.groups: pano-viewer-group, user, pano-viewer
    default.roles: VIEWER

  2. Save and close the security.yml file.
