Setting Trait and Device Permissions
The Trait Permissions and Device Permissions panes list traits or devices in rows and
actions in columns. For each trait or device, click the cell and choose an option from the
list to define the security permission:
• Permit: Allow the action or actions.
• Forbid: Deny the action or actions.
• Inherit: Inherit is a default system setting that can mean an action is permitted or
forbidden depending on where the action is inherited from. For user-created permission
sets, trait permissions that are set to inherit will usually forbid that action, while device
permissions set to inherit will usually permit the action. If permission modifications are
needed, it is best to explicitly set any actions to permit or forbid based on the desired
result.
The following table lists all of the action columns and their relationships with trait and
device permissions.
