FTACSWS Access

Overview

FTACSWS Access lets you manage roles and user credentials for FT-ACS Web Services. The module is organized into two tabs — Users and Roles — each with independent CRUD and import/export operations. Password hashes can be temporarily revealed with a 10-second auto-hide timer. Role deletion is blocked when the role is assigned to one or more users.

Open the module

  1. Go to ACS Orchestrator on the dashboard.

  2. Select FTACSWS Access.

Manage users

  1. Open the Users tab.

  2. Use Create user to add a username, password hash, and role.

  3. Use Edit to update role or password hash.

  4. Use Delete to remove a user.

Reveal password hashes

  1. In a user card, select the eye icon next to Password hash.

  2. Confirm the dialog.

  3. The hash is visible for that user until you hide it or leave the tab.

Manage roles

  1. Open the Roles tab.

  2. Use Create role to add a role name.

  3. Use Rename to change the role name.

  4. Delete is disabled for roles assigned to users.

Import / Export

  • Export downloads a .properties snapshot for the active tab.

  • Import runs a dry-run preview, then apply changes.

  • Apply is blocked if errors exist or warnings are not acknowledged.

  • Users import format: username=passwordHash.

  • Roles import format: username=roleName (assigns roles to existing users).

  • When using both files, import users first and roles second.

Available operations

  • Delete user — remove a user account.

  • Create role — add a new role name.

  • Rename role — change an existing role name.

  • Delete role — remove a role (blocked if assigned to users).

  • Reveal password hash — temporarily show the password hash (auto-hides after 10 seconds).

  • Import — upload a .properties file per tab (dry-run required).

  • Export — download a .properties snapshot for the active tab.

Typical workflow

  1. Navigate to the ACS dashboard and select FTACSWS Access.

  2. Open the Roles tab and create any necessary roles first.

  3. Switch to the Users tab and create users, assigning them to existing roles.

  4. To update credentials, use the edit action on a user row.

  5. To verify a password hash, use the eye icon — the hash is visible for 10 seconds before auto-hiding.

  6. Export the current state for backup before making bulk changes.

  7. When importing, process users first, then roles, to ensure proper assignment.

Tips

  • Imports can delete missing users/roles; always review the deletion impact block.

  • If reveal permissions are missing, the eye action will show an alert and keep hashes masked.
