Class and Object Security
You assign class security to a User or Group using the Class Security List. You
assign object security using the Security Dialog or tab on the Explorer, List, or
Bulk Configuration tool.
Class Security
Database class security defines access to a group of ICM configuration
objects.Table 8-4 describes the classes the ICM software supports.
No access Restricts access to the object. (This is the default if a
User or Group is not explicitly assigned an access
level.)
Note The highest—that is, the most permissive—access level to a particular
piece of data “wins.”
A user can belong to multiple groups or be assigned settings at the class
level that conflict with settings at the object level.
For example: UserX might have been assigned only read access to
PeripheralZ. However, UserX might also belong to Group1 and Group2.
Group1 might have reference access to PeripheralZ and Group2 might
have maintenance access to PeripheralZ. Consequently, even though
UserX as an individual has only read access to PeripheralZ, since he
belongs to Group2, he has maintenance access to PeripheralZ.
Another example:UserA might have read-only access to the global class
but maintenance access to the peripheral object. Because the peripheral
object controls the skill group object, UserA has maintenance access to
the skill group object even though his global access gives him only read
access.
