Assigning Authorizations With the User Manager GUI

A user generally is granted authorizations indirectly through a rights profile. Authorization settings can be used to grant a specific authorization to a user or role. Some authorizations might have additional attributes, such as an object name. For example, when an administrator creates the group games, the administrator is granted an implicit authorization: solaris.group.manage/games. The object names are then displayed in the Granted Authorizations list.

How to Assign Authorizations With the User Manager GUI
