Method and system in a telephone switching system
View Patent ↗Method and system for dynamically modifying access right profiles in the operating system of a computer system or a telephone switching system. In the method, access right profiles having individual command rights to the operating system of the computer system are defined in the computer or telephone switching system. According to the method, the need for modification of the access right profiles in the computer system is recognized; the information contained in the access right profiles is read; the access right profiles which have to be modified are determined; and the access right profiles are modified dynamically as necessary in view of the need for modification that has been recognized.
1. Method for dynamically modifying access right profiles of users in the operating system of a computer system,
said method comprising the steps of:
defining in the computer system access right profiles having individual command rights to the operating system of the computer system,
wherein the method further comprises the steps of:
recognizing the need for modification of at least one of the defined access right profiles in the computer system, wherein
the need for modifying the access right profile is triggered by prevailing circumstances of the computer system;
reading the information contained in the defined access right profiles in the computer system;
establishing, based on the information contained in the access right profiles and the prevailing circumstances of the computer system, which access right profiles have to be modified; and
modifying at least one of the access right profiles dynamically as necessary according to the prevailing circumstances.
2. Method as defined in claim 1 , wherein an access right profile comprising one or more user identifiers is defined in the computer system.
3. Method as defined in claim 1 , wherein an access right profile comprising one or more terminals is defined in the computer system.
4. Method as defined in claim 1 , wherein the access right profiles in the computer system are modified as a function of time.
5. Method as defined in claim 1 , wherein the access right profiles in the computer system are modified as a function of the utilization rate of the computer system.
6. Method as defined in claim 1 , wherein the access right profiles in the computer system are modified when a predetermined alarm situation occurs in the computer system.
7. Method as defined in claim 1 , wherein the access right profiles in the computer system are modified as a function of session duration and/or operation commands used and/or number of sessions held.
8. Method as defined in claim 1 , wherein the access right profile in the computer system is modified even if a session consistent with an access right profile should be active.
9. Method as defined in claim 1 , wherein the computer system is a telephone switching system.
10. System for dynamic modification of access right profiles of users in the operating system of a computer system, in which access right profiles having individual command rights regarding the operating system of the computer system have been defined, wherein the system comprises:
means for recognizing the need for modification of at least one of the defined access right profiles in the computer system, wherein
the need for modifying the access right profile is triggered by prevailing circumstances of the computer system;
means for reading the information contained in the defined access right profiles in the computer system;
means for establishing, based on the information contained in the access right profiles and the prevailing circumstances of the computer system, which access right profiles have to be modified; and
means for modifying at least one of the access right profiles dynamically as necessary according to the prevailing circumstances.
11. System as defined in claim 10 , wherein the system comprises means for defining in the computer system an access right profile comprising one or more user identifiers.
12. System as defined in claim 10 , wherein the system comprises means for defining in the computer system an access right profile comprising one or more terminals.
13. System as defined in claim 10 , wherein the system comprises means for modifying the access right profiles as a function of time.
14. System as defined in claim 10 , wherein the system comprises means for modifying the access right profiles in the computer system as a function of the utilization rate of the telephone switching system.
15. System as defined in claim 10 , wherein the system comprises means for modifying the access right profiles in the computer system when a predetermined alarm situation occurs in the telephone switching system.
16. System as defined in claim 10 , wherein the system comprises means for modifying the access right profiles in the computer system as a function of session duration and/or operation commands used and/or number of sessions held.
17. System as defined in claim 10 , wherein the computer system is a telephone switching system.
