FMS Security Events

The following tables lists FMS security events (standard and custom) for CygNet Measurement, what security application applies (service and/or Node level), and the minimum authorization level (permission) required to perform associated FMS tasks.

See Events in the Security section for more information about security event authorization in CygNet Software.

See Authorization Levels in the Security section (Permissions topic) for an explanation of security authorization levels in the CygNet ACS.

*Note: When changing security levels for a security event, security will be effective after making the change, but you will need to restart FMS Explorer for the changes to take effect for that client.

Custom FMS Security Events - Data Quality

A system administrator can also optionally control which users can save or edit records, based upon the data quality of the records. To determine who can modify records that have an attached data quality flag (gas device & gas station), administrators have the ability to create customized security events. Each data quality record will have a corresponding configured security event. Users must have a minimum access level to save records to the specified data quality, and must have a higher access level to edit records with the specified data quality. See Data Quality for more information about this concept.

The customized data quality security events are described in the table below.

Security Event	Security Event Description	Security Application - Service*	Security Application - Node*	FMS Task	Minimum AuthorizationLevel *
<custom>	Gas device records	—	—	None	0
		—	—	None	1
		—	—	None	2
				Save a Gas Device record to a specific gas quality (Closed records require additional security)	3
				Inclusive Edit a Gas Device record at a specific gas quality (Closed records require additional security)	4
				Inclusive	5
<custom>	Gas station records	—	—	None	0
		—	—	None	1
		—	—	None	2
				Inclusive Save a Gas Station record to a specific gas quality (Closed records require additional security) Via script, save a Gas Station record to a specific gas quality (Closed records require additional security)	3
				Inclusive Edit a Gas Station record at a specific gas quality (Closed records require additional security)	4
				Inclusive	5

*Note: When changing security levels for a custom data quality security event, security will be effective after making the change, but you will need to restart FMS Explorer for the changes to take effect for that client.
