After you define users and groups and create security classes, you can specify the type of access that each user and group has to each security class in the application.
You can assign users one of five access types: None, Metadata, Read, Promote, or All. You can use the Pivot feature to toggle between two views for the assign access table. For example, if users and groups are on the rows and security classes are on the columns and you click Pivot, the users and groups move to the columns and security classes move to the rows.
When you grant users access to a security class, you can enable email alerts, which can be used for intercompany reporting, and also to inform users of process unit status changes for entities and scenarios that use the security class. To receive email alerts for process control, a user must have All or Promote access to the security class.
A user assigned to the Application Administrator role for an application has access to all information in the application. |
