CyberRegs User Management

Rules and requirement citations can be linked to an online full-text elucidation provided by CyberRegs, allowing Compliance Manager module users to view the most recent citation version. This Citation Linking functionality can be used to link previously-saved or manually-entered rules and requirement citations. An automated Bulk Import tool is available to upload federal, state, international, or user-specific (private) rules and requirement citations. A notification service is included to exchange information with CyberRegs about the requirement citations in your Essential database. Send a citation list on demand or at a scheduled frequency for evaluation by CyberRegs. If there are updates, the Entity Compliance Owner is notified of the changes, including new and deleted regulations. Task assignments associated with the updates are also identified to determine if changes are needed.

To use the Essential/CyberRegs integration functionality, customers must have a company account setup with CyberRegs (requires a separate license agreement).   

Each Essential user who needs access to Citation Linking functionality must have an equivalent CyberRegs mapping. Most users are set up as Standard CyberRegs users. Master CyberRegs users have administrative capabilities, i.e., provide access to standard users and assign master user permissions to other administrative users. All users must have an Essential user login account with a contact assigned. The contact and personnel record for the assigned contact must be populated with a first name, last name, and a valid email address. The Map this user to a CyberRegs standard account check box in the CyberRegs User Account Settings section on the User Manager form must be selected. For master users, the Administrator Permission check box in the Security Settings section must also be selected.

Note:  The Citation Notification and Send Citation List services execute and run using the generic user name (CitationUserName) and password (CitationPassword) stored in the configuration file. Refer to Configurable Settings for additional information.

Standard CyberRegs Users

For security purposes, all Essential users must have an equivalent CyberRegs mapping to access Citation Linking functionality via the CyberRegs portal. Standard CyberRegs users are identified by selecting the Map this user to a CyberRegs standard account check box in the CyberRegs User Account Settings section on the User Manager form. When the user manager record is saved, the mapping process is initiated. Provided no errors occur, the Essential user is a standard CyberRegs user when the save process completes. If the mapping process was unsuccessful, manually resolve the mapping on the CyberRegs User Mapping form. Refer to Resolve Mappings for instructions. All CyberRegs users at your entity and each one's mapping status can be viewed on the CyberRegs User Mapping form.

Note:  The mapping process for user login accounts created and/or updated via the Data Importer Contact/User template must be completed using the Resolve Mappings function available on the CyberRegs User Mapping form. Refer to Resolve Mappings for instructions.

To set up standard CyberRegs users

  1. Locate the login account on the User Manager list. To filter the list so only CyberRegs users are displayed, just the Show CyberRegs Users Only check box should be selected.

  2. Click the account link to open the User Manager form.

  3. Select a Contact from the list if this field is blank. The contact record must contain a first name, last name, and email address to successfully complete the mapping process.

  4. Click the Map this user to a CyberRegs standard account check box in the CyberRegs User Account Settings section.

    The warning message "Marking this user as a CyberRegs user will increase the number of CyberRegs users within your system and may affect your license agreement with CyberRegs." is displayed.

  5. Click OK to continue.

  6. Click the Save button on the User Manager form.

    The save process resolves the mapping required between Essential and CyberRegs. Provided no errors have occurred, the Essential user is a standard CyberRegs user when the save process completes.

  7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for other login accounts to be set up as standard CyberRegs users.

  8. Verify standard CyberRegs users at your entity by accessing the CyberRegs User Mapping form.

Master CyberRegs User Bulk Creation

The CyberRegs Master User Bulk Creation form can be used to designate multiple CyberRegs master users at one time. A list of eligible administrative Essential users who are not master CyberRegs users is provided when you access the form. All of the following conditions must be met for a user to be considered an eligible administrative Essential user:

  1. The Administrator Permission check box has been selected on the User Manager form and a Contact has been assigned, and

  2. The contact and personnel record for the assigned contact contains a first name, last name, and a valid email address.

Select one or more users and click the Create Master Users button. When the creation process is complete, the new master users are removed from the list. For any selected user that is not already a standard CyberRegs user, an account with CyberRegs will be set up (by CyberRegs). In Essential, the CyberRegs account is automatically mapped to the Essential login account as a master CyberRegs user. In addition, the Map this user to a CyberRegs standard account check box in the CyberRegs User Account Settings section on the User Manager form is automatically populated with a checkmark. Access the CyberRegs User Mapping form to verify master CyberRegs users at your entity.

Note:  Once a user has been designated as a master CyberRegs user, that user cannot be changed to a standard CyberRegs user via the Essential user interface.

To create Master CyberRegs users

  1. Click Administration > CyberRegs Master User Bulk Creation in the Navigation Tree.

    The CyberRegs Master User Bulk Creation form appears with each eligible administrative Essential user displayed as a line item.

  2. Select each user to be a master CyberRegs user by clicking the check box adjacent to the line item.

  3. Click the Create Master Users button.

  4. Verify master CyberRegs users at your entity by accessing the CyberRegs User Mapping form.

CyberRegs Linking Validation

The CyberRegs User Mapping form provides a list of all the CyberRegs users at your entity, along with each one's CyberRegs account type (Master or Standard) and mapping status. Use the form to verify mapping statuses. A No entry in the Is User Mapped field indicates an unresolved mapping. Refer to Resolve Mappings for additional information. The link in the User Name field opens the User Manager form and the link in the Contact Information field opens the Contacts and Personnel form.
