In addition to the global and project profiles, an administrator uses resource security to restrict a user's access to resources. Each user can have access to all resources, no resources, or a limited number of resources in the resource hierarchy. To restrict access to a limited number of resources, you can designate each user's root resources by assigning each user to one or more resources in the resource hierarchy. The position of the assigned resources in the hierarchy determines the user's resource access.
Users with restricted resource access can still view and edit all current project resource assignments if they have the proper project privileges.
An administrator can grant one of the following three types of resource access to each user:
- No Resource Access does not provide access to any resources. This is the default option for new users. With no resource access, the user cannot view any global resource data in the resource dictionary.
- All Resource Access disables resource security and provides access to all resources. With all resource access, the user can view all global resource data in the resource dictionary.Admin Superusers always have all resource access, no matter which option is selected.
- Select Resources Access provides access to up to five selected resources and all their children in the resource hierarchy. Users with this restricted access can view global resource data for resources they have access to.
Note: You need the Edit Users global privilege to manage resource security.
