Adding user information to the database
Miscellaneous non-sensitive information about users can be stored in the Bravura Security Fabric database USERSTAT table. The information is stored in tag/value pairs. The user notification system can search this information and determine:
Whether an action should be taken; for example by sending out a notification to an individual user, or building a list of users to be disabled. Built-in plugins are available, and can evaluate a particular value according to several comparison rules. You configure built-in plugins using the Manage the system (PSA) module.
Which users to evaluate by setting up pre-conditions. You may want to evaluate users in a specific location, or improve server performance by avoiding sending out too many messages simultaneously.
You can use a notification action plugin to set a USERSTAT tag; for example, to escalate the severity of notifications. If a user has failed to respond to warning-level reminders, you could set a tag to true, then use that tag in a force-level notification.
In addition, you can query several built-in USERSTAT tags.
