You can modify a particular user's security permissions by adding a row for that user. For example, if the user group All has access to the module, but you want to deny access to a particular user, you can add a row for that user and give the user a No Access setting.
- In the Module dialog box, click Add. The Add User dialog box appears.
- In the Name list, select the name of the user or user group you want to add.
- In the Permission field drop-down list, select the permission you want to assign to the user. In the context of module security, there are only three types of permissions: permission to use the module, permission to use the module and change security permissions in the module, and no permission to use the module or change security permissions in the module. The following permissions are available:
- Read: Permission to use the module.
- Edit: Permission to use the module.
- Edit and Create: Permission to use the module.
- Edit, Remove, Create: Permission to use the module.
- Full Access: Permission to use the module and change security permissions.
- Full - excluding data: Permission to use the module and change security permissions.
- Administrative Access: Permission to use the module and change security permissions.
- No Access: No permission to use the module or change security permissions.
Note: Even when No Access permission is selected, the user will still be able to view the module, except for the following module types: item, portfolio, folder, category, or module.
- To customize the user's permissions, select a permission and click Edit. The Security Settings dialog box appears.
- Check or clear the appropriate boxes in the Allow and Deny columns. Read & View lets the user use the module. Admin lets the user change security permissions in the module. Click OK to save the settings.
- Click OK. The new user is added to the Module dialog box.
Note: The new user's security permissions override whatever permissions the new user might have had as part of a group listed in the Module dialog box.
