TARWIS Tutorial 2
Registering for User Roles

 

After login the user is redirected to the TARWIS Web GUI. To actually perform experiments on a testbed however the user first requires access rights which are managed by "User Roles". The same user may have different access rights on different testbeds and by default has no rights on any testbed. You can view your current roles at the testbed you are visiting at the top of the Welcome page (cf. Fig. 27).

Possible roles are TARWIS Viewer, TARIWS User, and TARWIS Admin. A TARWIS Viewer is allowed to monitor public experiments and download theirs results. They are not allowed to reserve sensor nodes and perform experiments. A TARWIS User can reserve sensor nodes from the testbed and perform experiments. A TARWIS Admin can perform all administrative tasks.

  2. The user is directed to the SNA (Sensor Network Authorization) portal, shown in Fig. 29, where the user has to login again (using their wisebed login).
  1. The user can now subscribe for a role (cf. Fig. 30).
