Users and Groups
Efficient rights administration
The web application administrates up to 256 user accounts as well as the same
amount of user groups. Any user within the system can be a member of up to 20
groups.
The user accounts and the user groups can be provided with different rights to oper-
ate the system.
The effective right
The effective right determines the right for a particular operation.
EXAMPLE: The user JDoe is member of the Office and TargetConfig groups.
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, was given directly in the user account.
The dialogue windows of the web application additionally display the effective right
for every setting.
ADVICE: The rights administration can almost be carried out completely through
user groups. Therefore, the user groups and the assigned rights have to be planned
and implemented beforehand.
This way, the user rights can be quickly and efficiently changed.
IMPORTANT: The effective right is the maximum right, which consists of the user
account’s individual right and the rights of the assigned group(s).
