SMART IP EXTENDER

Figure 24 User/Group Permissions

Each user or group has a set of access rights to the IP Extender functions. The user 'super' always has unalterable full access rights. A newly created user has the access rights of all groups he belongs to.

You can change the access rights in the User/Group Permissions panel. The panel shows the changes to the access rights inherited by the user's ancestors only. This means an empty user permission list has exactly the same access rights as the groups he belongs to.

When one user creates a new user, he can alter his access rights. A user can change another user or group's access rights if he stands higher in hierarchy. The 'super' user stands at the top of the hierarchy, and can change everybody's access rights.

A user can never give more access rights than he himself has but he can always reduce the access rights.

To change access rights:

1.From the Drop down list select a user/group. The selection list shows only users and groups, which you have the right to change.

2.Click the Update button. The access rights of the user appear. The meaning of the Permissions is as follows:

Viewing a field. allow view means you can view it. deny access means you cannot view it.

Changing a field setting. Allow change means you can change it. (This doesn’t give an automatic right to view the value, the allow view value must also be set). Deny change means you cannot change it.
