Managing Rights
To see a list of existing Rights:
-
In the Manager pane expand Users, Roles, Rights and Groups.
-
Select Manage Roles, Rights and Groups.
-
Select the Rights option.
Note: Built-in Rights are shown in red.
It is possible to create and delete User-defined Rights, however, attaching functionality to a Right is beyond the scope of the document and would need to be done in consultation with your AVEVA Representative. Without this, the Right would not control any functionality.
To create a User-defined Right:
-
Make sure the existing Rights list is open.
-
Type the name of the new Right in the Name box.
-
Select Create New.
Note: User-defined Rights are shown in black.
To delete a User-defined Right:
-
Make sure the existing Rights list is open.
-
Select the Right you want to delete.
-
Select Delete Existing.
Assigning Rights
A User can have a Right assigned to them:
-
directly, or
-
indirectly, through a Role.
To assign a Right directly to a User:
-
In the Manager pane expand Users, Roles, Rights and Groups.
-
Select Assign Roles, Rights and Groups.
-
Select the User from the Existing Users list (top-left).
-
Select a Right from the All Existing Rights list (middle-center).
-
On the left side of the list select <-.
-
The Right appears in the User's Total Rights list (middle-left) , coloured green to show it has been directly assigned.
To assign a Right to a Role:
-
In the Manager pane expand Users, Roles, Rights and Groups.
-
Select Assign Roles, Rights and Groups.
-
Select the Role from the All Existing Roles list (top-right).
-
Select a Right from the All Existing Rights list (middle-center).
-
On the right side of the list select ->.
-
The Right appears in the Role's Current Rights list (middle-right).
-
All Users that have the Role assigned to them will now also have the Right.
Note: To assign a particular Role to a User, see the Assigning Roles section in the Roles topic.
