OBEM supports secure user access features, at a minimum, requiring credentials controlled access to the data collection device panel. Secure user access uses an admin account, and various user accounts, but other additional roles can be added if required. Only registered users or groups with access rights can view, execute, and manage reports. The web interface supports role-based user preferences for customizing the user interface and overall reporting experience for each user.
The admin defines rights for the users for dashboards, reports, and navigation so that unauthorized users cannot view data that do not need to access. Multiple users of the same profile, for example, operators, technicians, and energy managers, can be set up under a single group for ease of scheduling, automated email of reports and faults.
OBEM also supports Two Factor Authentication by sending One Time password (OTP) over email to ensure additional security.
