As any IT manager knows, compliance is about more than reporting. It starts with the implementation of compliance policies and processes.

The latest VERSION of Landscape, Canonicals’ systems management tool, introduces extensive access-control extensions, enabling you to implement the access policies you need.

Roles such as ‘Auditor’ (with read access to everything but WRITE access to nothing) or ‘Security Analyst’ (with authentication to execute scripts but not modify them or create new ones) can be defined, right up to the restriction-free ’Full Administrator’ level. Fine-grained control over these CREDENTIALS is provided, with a default configuration included to ensure that these features can be used without customization. Meanwhile, CIOS will appreciate the ability to define independent security administrator roles when needed.
