Managing Permissions and Access Control
Permissions can be set at different levels in the system (the company level or project/shell level).
The permission settings can be done in these functional nodes:
- Access Control
- Company User
- User Administration, Groups sub-node
- Standards & Libraries, Permissions sub-node
A user can be granted permissions individually or can inherit them from the groups to which the user belongs.
If a user is in more than one group, the highest level of permissions granted in any group for a module will prevail.
Users can be granted individual permissions in addition to group permissions. If the user-level and group-level permissions are different for a module, the highest level will be granted to the user.
Note: If you grant permissions to project/shell-level (User mode) features from the company-level, the new permission settings will take effect on future projects/shells the user is assigned to, but not on current projects/shells. To grant permissions to a user for a current project, be sure to change the permissions from the project/shell level user record.
Permissions in a project/shell template from which the project/shell is created override the company-level permissions.
