EDQ Permissions

EDQ has four types of permission, as listed below. Permissions are granted to users by means of EDQ User Groups, which are in turn mapped to external user groups.

Application Permissions

These are simple permissions that grant (or deny) groups of users access to log in to EDQ user applications, such as Director, Server Console, and Case Management.

Functional Permissions

These are permissions to access certain functions of the system, for example, the ability to modify a Reference Data set in Director, or the ability to change the state of a case, or alert in Case Management.

Dynamic Permissions (in Case Management)

These permissions are dynamically created within a Case Management workflow as configured in Case Management Administration. Dynamic permissions are used to restrict access to specific cases or alerts or to case comments or attachments.

Project Permissions

By default, a project created in Director is accessible to all user groups. However, projects may be restricted to a smaller set of groups. Where this is the case, any user that is not in a group that has access to the project, will not be able to see or use the project in any way.

Note:

Any user that has the ability to add projects in Director automatically has access to all projects.
