Button

Self Service Application Inquiry

This form is used to maintain the set of available web Self Serve Access levels or types. Each access code represents a broadly defined type of access. For example: Administrative, Secured, Public. Each self service access is associated with one or more user categories, as defined in the Maintain Self Service User Category form (SSFF1700). For example: access code SECURE might be associated with the user categories APPLICANT (applicants for course admission) and ENROLLED (enrolled students).

Each access code is also associated with one or more Self Serve Applications such as Results or Enrolment, as defined in the Maintain Self Serve Application form (SSFF1100). Each user category (in SSFF1700) therefore inherits access to a set of applications via its link to one or more Self Serve Access Codes.

For more information on self service access refer to Understanding Callista Connect Manager.

The Self Serve Access block contains:

• Self Serve Access Code
• Description
• Authenticate All User Categories check box
• Closed check box

The Self Serve Access User block contains:

• Self Serve User Category
  Assign one or more codes to the Self Serve User Category and save. The combination of Self Serve Access Code and Self Serve User Category represents a level of access to Callista Connect applications.
• Description
• System Authentication Usage
• Active check box
  This defines whether the Self Serve User Category is available for initial authentication to a secure application associated with the Context Access Code. If more than one active user category is associated with the Self Serve Access Code, they are listed when the user attempts to login to one of the access code's secure applications. The user must select the appropriate category as each category may have different authentication requirements.
• Display Order
  This defines the order in which the user categories are displayed in a web Login Page when accessing a secured application. User categories are displayed in the authentication page only if the application's access code is associated with multiple user categories.
  For example: the secure application 'Results' may be associated with the access code SECURE, which in turn may be associated with the user categories ENROLLED (enrolled students) and ADMIN (administrator).

Selecting the Self Serve Application Inquiry button displays the applications that have been associated with the Context Access Code in SSFF1100.

Rules/Notes:

Validations include:

• Create a new Self Serve Access Code or perform a query to retrieve an existing code
• Self Serve Access display order must be unique for a specific Self Serve Access Code
• A closed Self Serve Access Code cannot have their user details modified.

The System Authentication User Code is displayed with the Self Serve User Category information.

If a user has already achieved authentication to a secure application via a particular category, then they can achieve re-authentication to another secure application whose access code is associated with the same category (either active or inactive).

The Authenticate All User Categories check box enables one authentication functionality for Connect users. For example, if the Self Serve User Category is 'Applicant', the user has a user log in name and password. The same exists if the user is a 'Student'. If the one person is both Applicant and Student, they would need to log in twice with different user names and passwords. With the check box selected, the person (both Applicant and Student) only logs in once with one password.
