Understanding Permissions
Horizon Administrator presents the combination of a role, an administrator user or group, and an
access group as a permission. The role defines the actions that can be performed, the user or
group indicates who can perform the action, and the access group contains the objects that are
the target of the action.
Permissions appear differently in Horizon Administrator depending on whether you select an
administrator user or group, an access group, or a role.
The following table shows how permissions appear in Horizon Administrator when you select an
administrator user or group. The administrator user is called Admin 1 and it has two permissions.

called MarketingDesktops. The second permission shows that Admin 1 has the Administrators
(Read only) role on the root access group.

select the MarketingDesktops access group.
