To allow users to access entities in a partition, you must grant the appropriate users and user groups the rights to that partition.

What you should know

Access rights for partitions follow these rules:
  • Users inherit access rights from their parent user groups.
  • Inherited access rights cannot be revoked.
  • Access rights not granted to a user group can still be granted directly to individual members of that group.
  • Granting access rights for a partition also grants rights for all its child partitions.
  • Revoking access rights for a parent partition also revokes them for all its child partitions, unless the rights are inherited from a parent user group.
  • Revoking access rights for a child partition does not revoke access rights for its parent partition.
IMPORTANT: If a user’s access rights are modified while they are signed in to an application, the changes take effect only after the user signs out and then signs back in.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the User management task, select a user, and then click the Access rights tab.
  2. Select the checkbox beside the partition you want to grant access rights for.
    This automatically grants access rights for all of its child partitions.
  3. To revoke access rights for specific child partitions, clear the checkbox beside those child partitions.
  4. Click Apply.
  5. If required, overwrite the basic privileges this user has for the partition.
  6. Click Apply.
