Introduction
The JOC cockpit allows service providers to configure both shared and dedicated services over any number of JobScheduler Masters.The JobScheduler Masters can then be operated, managed and monitored from a single interface and permissions and roles assigned for each Master.
Architecture-Based Multi-Client Capability
The JOC Cockpit's multi-client capability is a direct feature of the JobScheduler Architecture and allows operation for multiple clients - i.e. scheduling customers - to be separated through the use of separate JobScheduler Masters for individual clients. See the JOC Cockpit - Architecture article for more background information.
This clear separation of resources brings a number of advantages for both service providers and users:
- Increased processing requirements of one user will not affect the processing capacity available for another, meaning that service requirements can be clearly stated and met.
- Maintenance windows, can be implemented individually according to customer requirements.
- Software updates can be implemented independently according to client wishes.
It also allows authorization - the allocation of user rights and permissions - to be granted according to duties or roles - i.e. What is a user allowed to do? This may be contrasted with other systems that allocate rights and permissions according to resources such as files or folders.
The use of role-based rights and permissions brings a number of significant advantages:
- It simplifies their administration in complex environments. Whilst the administration of the permissions of several hundred folders in a multi-client system is manageable, the administration of several thousand requires brings an extremely high administrative requirement and error susceptibility.
- Role-based rights and permissions allow the rights and permissions for individual clients to be managed separately.
- The clear separation of rights and permissions also simplifies meeting compliance requirements.
