What types of Permissions are there?

The authorizations can either be assigned to individual users or to newly added user groups. A combination is also possible.

A distinction is made between:

• Object Permissions [1]
  refer to individual folders or the entire process model and are assigned in the properties of the respective object (e.g. access to specific processes in the process model).
• Functional Permissions [2]
  always relate to the entire process model

Both rights types are summarized in the properties window under the item Permissions.

The following options can be assigned to the Functional Permissions:

• Not specified [3]
  The value inherited from a higher level applies. If no value is set, the corresponding function is not supported, but can be overridden by allowing.
• Deny [4]
  The corresponding function is explicitly denied and cannot be overridden by allowing.
• Allow [5]
  The corresponding function may be used.

The following options exist for Object Permissions:

• Edit [1]
  The properties of the object can no longer be edited. If it is a graphic, it cannot be edited. In the case of folders, the addition and removal of new objects and folders are also denied.
• Edit Permissions [2]
  The permissions of the respective object cannot be edited – the tab disappears.
• Viewing [3]
  The object cannot be viewed. The object or the folder disappears from the view in the respective views – opening of graphics is prevented.
• Create [4]
  Adding objects and folders is prevented. This option has no effect on graphics or other objects that do not have sub-objects. An exception is moving.
• Delete [5]
  Deleting (moving to the recycle bin) is prevented.
