FIGURE 4-9 Permission Tree Hierarchy
The operations tree is a union of the operations included or excluded of the groups and the directly assigned operations.
Thus you can assign permissions to the operations that are not associated with the group for the user. In order to modify the
permissions set to the user through groups, go to the Permitted Operations For Group tab after selecting the particular
group, and then click Set Permissions to do the necessary changes. In the operations tree, by clicking the respective check
boxes of the operations, you can include that operation for the user, and by ticking the check box (x), you can exclude that
respective operation for the user. After making the necessary selections click Done to make the change permanent.
You can assign permissions by:
• Checking (checkmark) the check boxes to include the operations
• Ticking the check box (x) to exclude operations
• Leaving the check box empty so that it inherits its parent operation permission.

To delete a user, right-click the user and select Delete from the pop-up menu, or select Edit -> Delete option from the menu
