Assign privileges to a user group

Privileges define the actions that a user can perform. Privileges are assigned at the user group level.

A user group must have the specific privileges to access the corresponding component in MES applications such as MES Web Portal and MES Operator. Privileges may also be checked when using the MES .Net controls hosted in other applications. In addition, there are general privileges that define privileges such as file, view, edit, and download levels.

Application privileges are additive. This means that a user will have the privileges available in all the groups of which they are a member.

The Privileges tab in the User Groups and Users module shows a list of all the available privileges and their associated values. For more information on user privileges, see User privileges.
