Setting up permission groups
Another step in restricting operator access is by defining permission groups, which are assigned to
areas, categories, and reports.
Note:
Permission Groups are not groups of permissions. They are simply a way of grouping areas, categories, and
reports to restrict access by operators.
There are two types of permission groups:
• An Area/Category Permission Group defines the categories and areas that an operator is
permitted to assign. The system requires at least one permission group, in addition to the
default permission group: All Groups Allowed. The All Groups Allowed permission group
gives an operator full access to all Category groups and all Area groups. Each permission
group created with the Area/Category type, appears on the Area Permission Group and
Category Permission Group list boxes of the Permissions form along with the default All
Groups Allowed.
• A Report Permission Group can be assigned to reports if the Enforce Report Permissions
option is enabled through the System Parameters form. This offers the capability to assign
reports to report permission groups and to restrict operator report access to only those
reports that the operator permission record specifies. The All Groups Allowed permission
group gives an operator full access to all Report Groups. Each permission group created with
the Report type appears on the Report Permission Group list box of the Permissions form
along with the default All Groups Allowed.
Use the Permission Groups form to divide responsibilities among operators by creating a separate
permission group for each group of categories and/or areas. For example: Building 1, Building 2,
Building 3. Then, remove the special permission group, All Groups Allowed, and assign one or more
of the newly created permission groups. An operator can have permission to assign up to 20
category and area groups and, if enabled, 5 report groups. The figure below illustrates the
relationship between permissions and permission groups.
