User's Manual

You may assign access control rights from a user perspective. You select a user account, specify
the units for which rights will be assigned, then indicate the permission to perform the action
(none, allow, deny or inherit) for each unit. That procedure is described in this section.
There are other ways to assign access rights:
• From a user group perspective - see User Group Access Rights on page 229
• From a unit perspective - see Unit Access Rights on page 144
• From a unit group perspective - see Changing the unit group properties on page 189
To display a user’s access rights:
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Click on a username. The User Name window will open.
3. Click Effective Rights in the side navigation bar and then click All Units or Appliances.
The Appliance Effective Rights window will open. Columns indicate the available actions
for the unit.
• Black check mark - The user has been granted access for this right.
• Gray check mark - A group to which the user belongs has been granted access for this
right.
• Black X - The user has been denied access for this right.
• Gray X - A group to which the user belongs has been denied access for this right.
• No check mark - No access has been granted or denied for this right.
4. Click Close when you are finished reviewing the access rights. The User Accounts window
will open.
