[3] Authentication
Panopticon Real Time provides multiple approaches to authentication. It can easily be configured to use different authentication methods depending on the environment and the setup. Panopticon does not have any support for user management or administration of users.
Authentication in Panopticon is a two-step process:
- The user provides their identity using the selected method.
The username, which should be unique across all users, and their list of user groups are provided. The user groups can have arbitrary names and have no special meaning in Panopticon, but you can use them to set permissions on folders.
- Assign roles to the users, effectively deciding what they can do.
All authentication-related settings should be made in the <appdata>/security.yml file. The server creates a template for this file when it starts if it’s not already there. For more information on the YAML format, see the Appendix.
