Associate Application Permissions to User Groups

Important: Only System Permissions can be assigned directly to User Groups. Since Application Permissions are Base-specific, they must be assigned to the Bases associated to User Groups.

Note: Application Permissions cannot be assigned to the "All Bases" base.

The following example shows the assignment of Application Permissions to User Groups in the context of the Bases the groups contain.

To assign System Permissions to User Groups, take the following steps.

1. In the Security Manager, click the List Manager menu.

2. From the Edit option, click Permission Manager.

   The Permission Manager tab appears, displaying the View Type menu on the left and the workspace on the right side of the page.

3. From the View Type menu, select Group.

   The list of the User Groups appear in the workspace

4. Expand the desired Group to reveal the Base(s) in it.

5. Click the Application Permissions drop-down to expand the list of Application Permissions.

6. Select the application to which you wish to grant permissions from the Filter drop-down.

7. (Optional): Use standard Windows multiple list selection capabilities (CTRL, SHIFT, CTRL+SHIFT) to select multiple Permissions from the list.

8. Drag the selected Permission(s) from the list to the desired Group or Base. Drag to a User Group to cascade Permission(s) to all Bases within that Group. Drag to a Base (shown) to assign Permission(s) to that Base in the context of that Group.

   

9. To review the Permission(s) assigned to the Base, select the Base in the right-hand pane and select the Application Permission tab below.

   Application permissions can be assigned from this screen by checking the appropriate box(es) within the Application Type and/or Permissions lists.

   Tip: For more information on the use and appearance of check boxes, see Checkboxes.

10. Click the File menu in Security Manager and select Save to save the changes. Alternately, you can press CTRL+S or right-click the tab and select Save.
