Viewpoint Credentials & Security
 Content Manager credentials and security are controlled within Viewpoint and the document management system. Initially when a user accesses the plug in from Viewpoint, they are prompted for their document management username
and password. The user's Viewpoint username, document management username and encrypted document management password is stored in a table in the document management database. Subsequently,
each time the user accesses the document management system, a query for their DM credentials based on their Viewpoint username is conducted and automatically logs them in. If the user's DM password ever changes, we prompt them for their new password. Therefore the only time the user gets prompted for credentials
is when they first use the integration or their password changes.
Viewpoint "Attachment Types" are secured through user credentials and are validated every time an attachment is accessed, whether adding, viewing or deleting, the document management system makes a call to Viewpoint to determine if the current user has access to that Attachment
Type. If they do not have the appropriate security level, they are prompted with a message stating the security restriction. Regardless of Viewpoint's Attachment Type security, the document management system’s document level security is still enforced.
