Permissions

Abstract

Check out this article and learn more details about the permissions set introduced by the i4connected 5.6 version.

The list of permissions is a predefined set of rights, governing all aspects of the application. The user can either assign a role to an entire category of permissions or chose the effective permissions individually. The built-in permissions table provides information on the relevance of the permission when assigned either globally or at the hierarchy level.

Tip

The Assignment relevance column of below table indicates the level on which the permission takes effect, after the assignment to a role is done, as follows:

Permissions having a Global assignment relevance guard system-wide or administrative actions that require high authority rights.
Permissions having a Hierarchical assignment relevance guard limited hierarchical entities actions that do not require advanced rights or system knowledge.
Permissions having a Privileged assignment relevance guard special actions that require super-user rights.
Permissions having both Global and Hierarchical assignment relevance guard system-wide actions concerning hierarchical entities.
Permissions having both Global and Privileged assignment relevance guard system-wide or administrative actions, that require the special rights of a super-user.

The permission list is composed of built-in permissions and extended permissions.
