VRS X Security: Radar Privacy & User management

User Management & Access Control

This section handles the security of your VRS X instance, allowing you to control who can view your radar data and who can modify server configurations.

Radar Visibility

The RadarWeb VisibilityServer settings toggle defines the global reach of your radar map. You can find it under Server Settings option:

  • Web server port: Port number on which radar will be accessible
  • Admin port: WiP: Port number for Admin Panel - Admin port can be the same as Web Server Port, but mind the security

  • PRIVATE Mode: The radar is restricted and available only from localhost. Use this if you do not want anyone else on your network or the internet to see your map.

  • PUBLIC Mode: The server allows connections from 0.0.0.0/0, making the radar accessible over the network or internet (provided your ports are correctly forwarded).

⚠️ Developer's Note: Currently, this toggle is located in the User Management panel. This is a minor visual bug from the initial build; in a future release, this setting will be moved to General Settings or dedicated Security section will be created and documentation will be updated accordingly.

User Management (IAM)

VRS X includes a basic Identity and Access Management (IAM) system. This allows an administrator to create dedicated accounts for other users or additional admins.

You can find this panel under Users in the sidebar.

Roles and Privileges

Role Permissions
Admin Complete access to the Admin Panel, server settings, and user management.
User Authorized to view the radar map (when set to Private) but has no access to administrative tools.

Administrator Actions

Administrators have the power to manage the user lifecycle at any time:

  • Toggle Role: Instantly change a user's privileges between "User" and "Admin".

  • Reset PW: Reset a user's password if they lose access.

  • Delete: Permanently revoke access by deleting the account.

Creating New Users

Only an existing Admin can create new accounts.

  1. Enter a Username (minimum 3 characters).

  2. Assign a Temporary Password (minimum 6 characters).

  3. Select the Role and click Create User.

💡 First Login Policy: To ensure account security, any new user must change their password upon their first login. If a user has not yet completed this step, their status will be displayed as "Must change password" in the management table.
