Chapter 10: Managing Units 131

How access rights can be assigned

There are several ways you may assign access rights.
• You may assign access control rights from a unit perspective. From this perspective, you select
one or more units, specify the users/user groups for which rights will be assigned, then allow/
deny the permission to perform the action for each user/user group. See Unit Access Rights on
page 131.
• You may also assign access control rights from a unit group perspective. This is similar to
assigning access control rights for a unit, except all units that belong to the selected unit group
will be affected. See Changing the name, members or access rights of a unit group on
page 197.
• You may also assign access control rights from a user perspective. You select a user account,
specify the units for which rights will be assigned, then indicate the permission to perform the
action (none, allow, deny or inherit) for each unit. See User Access Rights on page211.
• You may assign access control rights from a user group perspective. This is similar to
assigning access control rights for a user, except all users who are members of the selected user
group will be affected. See User Group Access Rights on page 220.
