Grant access to encryption key
Administrators need to grant particular users access to encryption key(s) before they can play back (decrypt) audio files. Note, the administrator may grant access only to those encryption keys which are granted to him/her. If administrator (even if he/she has role "Root administrator") has no access to the encryption key, then he/she cannot grant access to other users for the same key.
MiaRec software never stores encryption keys in the database in plain text for security reasons. Even if an unauthorized party gains access to database files, he/she could not retrieve the private keys because they are stored in encrypted format. There is no way to gain user's private key without knowing the user's password.
To grant particular users access to the encryption key:
- Click the View button next to the encryption key.
-
Click the Unauthorized Users tab.
-
Select the target users you want to grant access and click the Grant access button.
As a result, the target users will appear under the Authorized Users tab.
