User groups

Rights groups are entered on the 3rd page of the Users card and are used to make user rights easier to set up.

Each group is labeled with the Name field and the Note field can be used for its better describing. The rights for each group are defined by means of three states:

• the right has not been defined
• the right has been set up
• the right has been suppressed.

The meaning of individual states is reflected in the inclusion of multiple groups to one user. In determining authorization, it is first determined whether there is a right at least one group. If If it does not exist, the result of the rights from groups is unauthorized access. If it exists, it is determined whether the right is suppressed  in any group. If it is suppressed, the result of the rights from groups is unauthorized access. If it is not suppressed, the user has rights from the groups that are assigned to the user.

Rights (1st page)

To speed up setup, you can use the keys to mark all rights and to deselect all rights (Shift+F2 and Shift+F3 key combinations). It is also possible to use the Shift+F4 and Shift+F5 keys to mark the rights only in the Table column or the Right name column (described in more detail in the Administrator - Users rights- Rights definition chapter).

On the 1st page of the User Groups book, as in the book User Roles - User Rights - Definition of Rights, you can search for rights using the reduction search (with the F7 key), see chapter User Roles - User Rights - Definition of Rights.
