Using the User/Group Permissions panel

This is where you determine exactly how the SmartView World home page appears to each user who connects via an IP link. By altering the permissions granted to each individual user or collective group, the many options given in the home page can be configured to be anything from fully accessible to totally invisible. Permissions can be granted (for every operational aspect) either: individually, or by group or by a combination of both.

When a user or group is selected within the permissions panel, the columns displayed will vary depending on whether you selected a single user or a group and also on your hierarchy in relation to that user or group. Generally speaking:

A user permissions panel shows:

•Effective Permission – This column indicates the actual permissions for the user. This column combines the highest permissions inherited from one or more groups as well as those given individually in the ‘User Permission’ column.

•User Permission – This column allows you to view/

alter permission levels that are granted to the user, over and above those inherited from any group(s) that they may belong to.

•Inherited Group Permission – This column indicates the permissions that are granted to the user by virtue of his association with one or more groups.

A group permissions panel shows:

•Group Permission – This column allows you (depending on your status) to alter the permission levels that will be applied to all members of the group.

•Current Permission – This indicates the current permission levels that are currently applied to all members of the group.

There are six possible settings for each of the 26 functions (not all settings are offered for each function) within each column. Roughly speaking the settings below are listed in decreasing order of status, i.e. if the inherited group permission gave ‘allow view’ and the individual user setting for the same function was ‘allow change’, then the ‘Effective Permission’ would be ‘allow change’.

•allow change The user can change the entry settings.

•allow access The user can use this function.

•allow view The user can view the entry.

•deny change The user can see but not change the entry’s settings.

•deny access The user cannot see or use this function.

•group setting Use the permission inherited from the group(s) the user belongs to. Default is to deny access.

To edit permissions for a user or group

1Within the SmartView World home window, select the ‘User/Group Permissions’ option in the ‘Administration’ section. The User/Group Permissons panel will be displayed.

2Use the ‘Permissions for user/group’ control to locate the required user or group name and then click the ‘Update’ button. The current permissions for the selected user or group will be displayed. If you have sufficient status, then the ‘User Permission’ or ‘Group Permission’ column will feature changeable controls for each function.

3Using the controls, select the appropriate permission for each function. For a user, to inherit the permission from the group(s) belonged to, select the ‘group setting’ option.

4When all permissions have been selected, scroll to the foot of the panel and click the ‘Apply’ button. The settings will be saved, the panel updated and a message displayed at the top of the panel to confirm the operation.
