To allow users to access the entities contained in a partition, you must grant access
rights for that partition to the concerned users and user groups.
What you should know
Access rights for partitions are governed by the following rules:
- Access rights for partitions are inherited from parent user groups.
- Inherited access rights cannot be revoked.
- Access rights not granted to a user group can be granted to the members of the user
group.
- Granting access rights for a partition to a user or user group also grants access rights
for its child partitions to the same user or user group.
- Revoking access rights for a parent partition from a user or user group also revokes
access rights for its child partitions from that user or user group, except when those
access rights are inherited from parent user groups.
- Revoking access rights for a child partition from a user or user group does not revoke
the access rights for its parent partition from that user or user group.
To grant access rights for a partition to a user:
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
User management task, select a user, and then click the
Access rights tab.
-
Select the checkbox beside the partition you want to grant access rights for.
This action automatically grants access rights for all its child partitions as
well.
-
To revoke access rights for some of the child partitions, clear the checkbox beside the
selected child partitions.
-
Click Apply.
-
If necessary, overwrite the basic
privileges this user has over the partition.
-
Click Apply.
