Manage Permissions for a User

From the User Details page, you can assign, modify and remove individual permissions for a user, as well as view inherited permission sets associated with the assigned role and group.

  • Individual Permissions are essentially “privileges” that permit an operator/administrator or system to perform a specific function in ActivID AS. The permission can be as simple as “Create User”, which is a single function (for example, adding a new user to an Administration Group). Permissions can be assigned individually to the user in this section.
  • Permission Sets are individual permissions grouped into “sets” to simplify the task of assigning permissions. In the User Details page, only external permissions related to “assets” resources can be assigned directly to the user. Predefined Permission Sets can be assigned to users via their role or group.
  • Inherited Permissions are sets inherited through the user’s roles or through the user’s Administration Group.
Note: To assign Permission Sets to the user, you must assign them to the group or role.

Assign Permissions to a User

  1. From the user's Details page, select the Permissions tab.

    • In the Permissions tab, you can assign individual permissions.
    • In the Permissions Inherited… tab, you can review a user’s complete set of permissions.

    To view the user’s inherited permissions, select the Permissions Inherited from Admin Group and User Role tab.
