Introduction

The JS7 - Profiles hold settings that are specific for a user and that are controlled by the user. 

• Profiles include a number of categories such as Preferences, Permissions etc.
• The profile includes settings used for digitally signing objects such as workflows for JS7 - Deployment.
• The underlying security requirements are explained with JS7 - Secure Deployment.

The JS7 - Security Architecture suggest to operate JOC Cockpit in one of the following security levels:

• Security Level Low
  • Inventory objects are automatically signed with the private key that is stored with the root account.
  • Signing is automatically applied when performing the Deploy operation.
  • The Profile page for Signature Key Management is available for user accounts holding the Administrator role only, see JS7 - Authorization.
• Security Level Medium
  • Inventory objects are automatically signed with the private key that is stored with the current user's account.
  • Signing is automatically applied when performing the Deploy operation.
  • The Profile page for Signature Key Management is available for any user accounts holding a Deploy permission, see JS7 - Permissions.
• Security Level High
  • Inventory objects are signed outside of JOC Cockpit.
  • As a consequence no Profile page for Signature Key Management is available.
