Administration section of GDPR Explorer allows you to configure sections of GDPR Explorer in transparent way. These settings allow you to customize user interface to your preference, configure labels and usage of annotations in documents, configuring PDF export, user access management, translations, personal data storage and more.

Administration guidelines

There are three ways how to configure Cogniware GDPR Explorer.

1. Administration section in the GDPR Explorer user interface

This is where all the common control and configuration options are located. You need to have the role of admin to be able to access it. You do so directly in the GDPR Explorer UI - just click on your name at the top right corner and select "Administration"

The administration is devided into sections. All the configuration done by the administrator is done here, only the people responsible for the installation of the product access the other sections.

2. Configuration files

GDPR Explorer is shipped as Docker images, each image that can be configured has it's configuration located at:

/var/dockershare/NAME_OF_THE_CONTAINER

After the configuration file is changed, the container represnting the service it provides must be recreated. This doesn't affect the persistent data in any way.

Before changing the configuration files on production systems force backup of the system.

After you have made the configuration file changes perform:

cd ~/GDPRExplorer
sudo docker-compose stop
sudo docker container prune
sudo docker-compose up -d

3. Docker-compose .yml file

For some configuration steps that are performed during the installation of the system and in case of major system upgrades the docker-compose.yml file that orchestrates the whole system needs to be updated.

Before updating the docker-compose.yml file force backup of the system.

Before updating the docker-compose.yml file stop the system.

cd ~/GDPRExplorer
sudo docker-compose stop

Backup the docker-compose.yml file (make a copy with current date).

cp ~/GDPRExplorer/docker-compose.yml ~/GDPRExplorer/BACKUP20180914_docker-compose.yml

After you have updated the docker-compose.yml file start the system.

cd ~/GDPRExplorer
sudo docker-compose up -d
