Effective Rights Tab

Overview

The Effective Rights Tab in the Employees window allows administrators to modify the named rights given to a user in the Security Tab.

 

 

Description

The Effective Rights tab displays the access rights that a user has based on window and functionality. The tree structure on the left of the window lists the access right and the second column list the type of object in the application. These rights include all access rights from policies assigned to the user in the Security Tab. The Effective Rights Tab allows admins to add or remove rights for a user in addition to the ones they received from policies. For more information on the way rights work, go to the Manage Policies Window help page.

 

Access Policies

Access rights are available for three different object types:

• Menu Objects - Sets the user access for options in the main Menu. In general the menu objects correspond to subsystems. These components are referred to as "Menu" in the application.

• Window Objects - Sets the user access to windows in the iPDWeb application. These components are referred to as "Window" in the application.

• Control Objects - Sets the user access to individual components (fields, buttons, etc.) of the application. These components are referred to as "Control" in the application.

Access rights come in three levels:

• No Access

  • Neither checkbox is checked.

  • The user will have no access to the object (this option is not available for control objects).

• Read Access

  • The "Read" checkbox is checked.

  • The user may view the object, but may not make any changes.

• Write Access

  • The "Write" checkbox is checked.

  • The user may view and edit information in the object.
