How user permissions work

The following table shows the user permissions required to perform activities in Empirica Signal. You assign permissions to individual users, user roles, or user profiles.

A user can act on an object (for example, a data mining run) if:

·        The user created the object.

·        The object was published to the user's login group.

·        The object was created by a different user in the user's login group, and the user has the Administer User permission.
