 Copy the inherited permissions and make them explicit for the resource.
 Remove all inherited permission from the resource.
Using explicit permissions to override inheritance
You can also override inheritance by allowing or denying explicit permission to perform
actions on selected resources.
For example, in the table on page 5-38, the Supervisors group has permission to perform
all Common actions, except for Configure Security, at the FactoryTalk Network
Directory.
In the Security Settings dialog box for the application, inherited permissions set up at the
FactoryTalk Directory for the Supervisors group show as gray check marks, as in the
following illustration.
To extend or further restrict this group’s access at the application level, you might make
the following explicit changes, to override the inherited permissions:
Breaking the chain of inheritance applies to the resource, not to the user or group of users
selected in the Security Settings dialog box.
If you choose to copy inherited permissions, the change is applied to all listed users that have
any inherited permissions. If you choose to remove all inherited permissions, all listed users
that have only inherited permissions are removed from the Security Settings dialog box.
Gray check marks
indicate inherited
permission to

actions.
