User authentication is the verification of the credentials of a user. User authorization determines the user's privileges and provides access control to the managed resources.
User privileges define the scope of managed resources for which a user has the right to perform a set of operations.
VRC, when integrated with PTC, uses CNS security services for the following user administration and authorization operations:
User login
User logout
Check user permissions
Display user privileges
For VRC system administration operations, use the VRC console.
