Changing permissions of users and roles
- On Permissions page, click by Role or User.
- To change permissions of a role, click Roles.
- To change permission of a user, click Users.
- From the dropdown box, select the group of roles or users whose permissions you want to change.
A list of all roles or users belonging to this group appears.
You can search for specific roles or users by using the search field.
- Click the role or user whose permissions you want to change.
A list of actions, grouped in sections, together with the respective permissions for the role or user appears.
- If a role has permission for a certain action, the system displays
in column Allow.
- If a role does not have permission for a certain action, nothing is displayed in column Allow.
- If a role is explicitly denied permission for a certain action, the system displays a column Deny and displays
in the column.
- To change permissions of a role or a user, click Change button of the respective group of permissions.
A window appears where you can perform the following:
- Explicitly grant or implicitly deny permissions.
If a role has not been explicitly denied permission for an action, the system displays only column Allow containing checkboxes for each action. If a checkbox is selected, the role has permissions for this action. If it is unselected, the role does not have permission for this action.
- To grant or deny permissions of the role, select or deselect the checkboxes of the respective action.
- When you finish, click Done button.
- Explicitly deny permissions.
If a role has already been explicitly denied permission for an action in the group of actions, the system displays column Allow and column Deny. Otherwise, the system displays only column Allow.
- To explicitly deny permissions, you must display column Deny by clicking the Show link, at the bottom of the window.
- To explicitly deny or no longer explicitly deny permission for an action, select or deselect the checkbox of the respective action in column Deny.
- When you finish, click Done button.
- NOTE: You cannot change the permission of the Administrators role.
