Permissions – Overview

The system allows admins to grant tailored access to file systems. Users can perform actions like adding, deleting, and editing nodes or be restricted to specific features. Permissions are configurable individually, during role creation, or when editing user accounts for precise control.

Adding Permissions

Different accounts can be created based on assigned permissions. Users may have capabilities limited to adding, editing, and running queries, while others can be granted policy-changing or administrative privileges.

  1. Select the Organization from the navigation tree on the left. It will be highlighted with a yellow background when chosen.

Ensure the Organization Node is selected with Administrative privileges for access to the Permissions subtab.

  • Navigate to the Administration tab in the top menu and select the Permissions subtab. Click the “Add Permission” button in the upper right corner to open the New Permission pop-up box.

  • Select user(s) from the drop-down menu in the Assigned Users field. Note that saving a new permission requires at least one user to be selected.

  • To choose a permission, click the checkbox next to its name; the selected checkboxes are highlighted. Select by clicking again. After making selections, click OK to save permissions.

 

  • After clicking OK, the New Permission pop-up box closes, and the new permission is displayed under the Permissions subtab. A success alert appears in the bottom left to confirm the save.

Each assigned user generates a separate entry; for instance, adding two users results in two new permissions entries under the subtab.
