Region switching allows users to connect and manage different Mavis systems. After the settings are configured, users can jump to different systems according to their own permissions.
Region switching will utilize a special project as the interface across different Mavis systems. The following will be explained step by step through a demonstration case:
1 Enable the Region switching :
Find region switching in system management, click Region Settings, click Edit and enable the region switch.
Only after turning on the "Region switching" can your users be switching to other systems.
In the demo case, we enabled the Region switching, and then enter the Local region name Headquarter."
2 Project region management
After enabling region switching, system will automatically create a project named: "region switching", within this project, you can add target region and manage switching option.
2-1 Add target region
Within the region switching project, system will treat other Mavis system as a web application. You may designate the region you want to switch toward by adding Mavis URL into the "Web Application" under the project region switching.
In the demo case, we will add the three different Mavis URL of German, Japan and Hong Kong, and give corresponding name.
Notice: when entering URL, do not add "/" on the end of the line.
2-2 Create and configure role
Any role will be able to see the region switching list based on the Web Applicon permission of their role.
In the demo case, we will create a role named “Asia Director”, then we will add Joseph into that role.
Connect is letting users connect with a proxy and generate a session recording, it's completely optional.
在演示案例中,我們將創建一個名為 “Asia Director” 的角色,然後將 Joseph 添加到該角色中。
角色的權限設定中,針對連線的勾選與否,並不會影響跳轉功能,您可以自由選擇。
We will limit Joseph’s region options in Asia, so here we allocate Japan and Hong Kong to this “Asia Director”
It can take up to 10 min for user to gain access for region switching, we suggest the user designated by the role log in again to apply the role setting immediately.
3 Authorize the domain
For safety reasons, Mavis only allows users to switch in only when the user is from a trusted source.
Whichever Mavis on this authorized list, can will be granted access to your local system
Please note that for every target region you wish to switch to, you will need to configure separately.
Go to Region settings, click edit and add the domain you Authorized source domains.
In the demo case, we will add the headquarters domain, from both Japan and Hong Kong Mavis system, this way, user from headquarter get to switch to Japan and Hong Kong.
When adding authorized domain, don't add “ / ” at the end.
4 Region switching
After you have completed the setting above:
- Source region: Enable region switching.
- Source region: Add target region as web application, and configure “Role”
- Target region: Add the source region domain into “Authorized source domains”
Members of the “Region management” should be able to see a Region list on the header board.
In our demo case, Joseph was added into the role of “Asia Director”, in which was assigned with web applications of Japan and Hong Kong, he will be able to switch to either one by clicking on the corresponding region name.
Notice
After the user switches to the target area, he will be designated as the manager of the system.
After switching to the target area, the user's behavior in the target area as an administrator will be recorded in the log of the target region.
After switching areas, you will still stay in the area after rearranging.
If the user logs out in the target area or has any authorization network or credential issues, the user will be redirected back to the local system.
Users who switched to the target area cannot be found in user management.
Error handling
After the initial enable of the region switching, if Region switching list didn't show up, try to reload the page.
If authorized domain is correctly added, but still shows switching error when switching out, please check if the network connection is accessible for both side.
