8.7.3 Managing User Access Rights
To match their roles, you can assign specific
access rights
per user or per user group.
A typical example is to reserve configuration features only for selected users. You can for example fine-tune roles by allowing some users to only
use
tickets but not being able to
change
them.
Note:
Managing these roles will be easier when you do this
per user group
. A user
automatically gets all rights from the group he belongs to.
Some general rules:
• Administrator users always have all user access rights.
• Only Administrator users can change access rights of normal users.
• To change access rights of a single user:
a) In the
Users
tab, double click the user to see his properties.
b) In the
Access Rights
tab, make the wanted selection.
