Users and Groups
Efficient rights administration
The matrix system administrates up to 256 user accounts and the same amount of
user groups. Each user within the system can be a member of up to 20 groups.
Both user accounts and user groups can be provided with different rights.
The effective right
The effective right determines the right to carry out a particular function.
Example: The user JDoe is member of the groups Office and TargetConfig.
The following table shows the user account rights, the rights of the assigned groups,
and the resulting effective right:
The settings of the Target config and Change own password rights result from the rights
assigned to the user groups. The Target access right which, in this case, enables full
access to a target module, was given directly in the user account.
ADVICE: The rights administration can almost completely be carried out through
user groups. Therefore, the user groups and the assigned rights have to be ade-
quately planned and implemented.
This way, the user rights can be quickly and efficiently changed.
IMPORTANT: The effective right is the maximum right that consists of the user
account’s individual right and the rights of the assigned group(s).
In the OSD, the individual right is highlighted in yellow. The effective right is
highlighted in green.
