1.2.5.1.12 Permission

Permissions in Case Management are an extension of the EDQ user permissions. They are used to control which data can be accessed by which users.

Permissions are defined in Case Management Administration, and can be associated with case sources, states and transitions. They are assigned to users via groups, as is the case with other security settings in EDQ.

A user can only see data with permissions settings compatible with his or her own permissions. A user can only apply transitions to cases or alerts if they have the appropriate permissions to do so. Whole sets of data can be hidden from groups of users by assigning the case source a permission setting that is not granted to those users.
