3.4 Permissions

Privileges are the ability to perform some operations, for example modify objects. Permissions grant  privileges under specific circumstances, called conditions, e.g. “modify a document if the project name has a certain value”. Roles, as explained earlier, can be an aggregation of Permissions.

To create new Permissions:

       I.          Go to “Admin” menu

     II.          Select “Permission”

    III.          From the “Manage Permissions” dialog, select the Privileges (according to requirements)

    IV.          Click “New”

     V.          In the “New Permission” window, give the necessary details, e.g. Name, Description, Enable/Disable, etc.

    VI.          Click the  Button to create the new Permission.

Figure 3.14: Manage Permissions Interface

While creating a new Permission using the default privileges, you can select all the privileges as well: Discover, Read, Modify, Create, Delete. Also, while creating a new Permission, you can also define the objects it will apply to. In the Manage Permissions window, you will have “Apply to” selection box that will help to define the objects that Permission will have the privileges to apply changes, or view, or create. You can also select multiple objects by selecting the objects while pressing the Ctrl key on your keyboard.
