List of available permissions

Christopher Dakin

Permissions in LogonBox enable us to allow users access to certain functions or to delegate a subset of admin rights to an account (for example we might want to delegate rights to manage users but not to change any other configuration items).

This is done by the creation of a Role in Security & Permissions, adding the required permissions and assigning to a user or group.

 

Below is a list of every permission available on the system and a brief description of what that permission grants access to.

Many of these permissions are broken down in to separate more granular access of Create, Delete, Read and Update.

Create permissions allow you to create new configuration items (i.e create a user, create a new role).

Delete permissions allow you to delete any existing item.

Read permissions grant a read-only view of the configuration area and do not allow any changes to be made.

Update permissions allow the editing of any existing item.

 

Permissions are split into 2 main areas:

Permissions for users to access things or perform tasks

Permissions to delegate admin rights to areas of the product (this second area can be split again into managing users and general configuration permissions).
