Editing User Permissions at Company, Shell, and Project Levels
The following user permission setting applies to editing a user permissions both at company-level, shell-level, and project-level:
When a user has the Create permission, all of the fields on the User Properties window are editable. The Apply and OK options are displayed.
A user with Create permission at the company-level will be able to create users and modify all the properties of the users, including the status and permissions.
When a user has Modify Status permission only, the Status option is enabled. The Apply and OK options are displayed and enabled. All of the other fields are not editable. A user who only has the Modify Status permission will be able to modify the status of users both from the User Properties window and the log.
Note: The ability to update the status from the log is not available at the shell, or project, level.
When a user has the Modify Properties permission only, the Status option is not enabled (disabled). In this case, the user needs the Modify Status permission in order to be able to edit the Status field. The Apply and OK options are displayed and enabled. All of the other fields are editable.
A user who has the Modify Properties permission without the Modify Status permission can modify the properties of the user. A user who has the Modify Properties permission without the Modify Status permission cannot modify the status of the users.
You can grant specific permissions to the project or shell team members to allow them to conduct specific user administration setup tasks (such as maintenance tasks) according to the permissions that you have granted to them. You can set up these permissions in the Permission Settings for Users under the User Administration category in Access Control (Admin mode).
The Permissions tab for the Users (under the User Administration) are:
- Add Users
- Modify Status
- Modify Permissions
- Modify Properties
- View
You can select any of the above permission options independently. When applicable, the second-level options will be selected automatically, when the first-level option is selected. This does not work in the opposite order. The same applies to the User/Groups.
Example
If you select "Add Users" (a first-level option), then the "View" (a second-level option) will be selected automatically, but if you select "View" only, then no other options will be selected automatically.
Note: The company-level (company workspace) permissions are not affected.
While you are adding or modifying a user's permissions in a project/shell, the Permissions tab displays the user's permissions in read-only mode, if the user does not have the permission to modify permissions (Modify Permissions), despite having other permissions.
