Authentication and Authorization
Panopticon is designed for single sign-on (SSO) integration with existing identity providers in your organization. User credentials and groups of users are not managed inside Panopticon, instead, Panopticon makes use of the existing organization users and groups. Panopticon has out of the box support for LDAP, SAML, OAuth2, and Basic authentication.
Panopticon has three functional roles defined in the product: Administrator, Designer, and Viewer. Users and Groups defined in the Identity Provider (IdP) of the organization are mapped to these three functional roles as part of configuring the deployment. Any additional user groups/roles delivered by the IdP can also be used to define folder access permissions in the Panopticon content repository.
Administrators of Panopticon server will manage settings and configurations partly via a server administration web GUI, and partly in server-side configuration files. In addition, some operations can be effectuated through a command line tool (PCLI) and some operations can be effectuated by calling a REST API.
