Chapter 7: Using the SafeWord 2008 Management Console
Understanding personalization data

Understanding
personalization
data
SafeWord allows you to store personal data about the users who access your
resources. Your helpdesk staff might use personalized data to verify
information about a user. This could prove helpful before assigning a
temporary authenticator, or when you need to change a user’s SoftPIN.
Data elements
Personalized data is configured using specific attribute-value pairs called
personalization data elements. Personalization data elements can be stored at
the user record level or at the role level. A user may also inherit elements from
the roles that he has been granted.
The data dictionary
Before you can begin to assign personalization data elements to users and
roles, you must enter the personalization data attributes into the database. By
entering these attributes, you create a data dictionary of personalization
attributes. Since system administrators are ultimately in control of the kinds of
data that are stored about a user, only system administrators are allowed to
edit this data dictionary. These administrators will optionally be able to specify
a range of allowable values for any given personalization data attribute.
Creating personalization data
To create personalization data attributes, do the following:
1
In the SafeWord 2008 Management Console, click
