on the selected device. Permissions applied to the group apply to all group members.
See “Setting Trait and Device Permissions,” next, for more information.
Setting Trait and Device Permissions
The Trait Permissions and Device Permissions panes list traits or devices in rows and
actions in columns. For each trait or device, click the cell and choose an option from
the list to define the security permission:
 Permit: Allow the action or actions.
 Forbid: Deny the action or actions.
 Inherit: For device permissions, inherits the trait permissions for that device. For trait
permissions, inherit functions the same as forbid. (Inherit is not intended to be used
for any trait permission settings.)
