User security - overview

Visma.net ERP specialises in the collection, storage, and processing of sensitive corporate data that must be protected against unauthorised access, use, modification, and disclosure.
To ensure that the system resources are used properly, Visma.net ERP uses reasonable security measures, such as database encryption and access control.

The user security configuration process in Visma.net ERP includes the following actions:

• Administering user accounts: You configure and manage user accounts to provide your users with access to the system as a whole.
• Restricting access to information: You configure and manage access rights for users to parts of the system, such as workspaces and windows.
• Enforcing site security policies: You set up security polices for the system as a whole and for each particular user and the auditing of user activities connected to system security.
• Encrypting sensitive data: You configure the encryption of sensitive information stored in the system.

The sections in this topic provide descriptions of the main parts of the security configuration process in the module.

Administering user accounts

To access Visma.net ERP, an individual must have a user account in the system.
Each account includes a login, a password, and other required properties, such as the user's first and last name, email address, password policy options, and applied roles.

You can either create local user accounts that will be available only in Visma.net ERP or integrate Visma.net ERP with identity management systems such as Microsoft Active Directory (AD) or Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to allow users of your organisation to sign in to Visma.net ERP with their domain accounts.

You create local accounts directly in Visma.net ERP.
