Access Groups Tab(3.1)

Administrator is a predefined access group. By default, this group has full access to all the activities and functions in the system and it cannot be deleted. You can only change the Access Controller permissions for the Administrator group.

To add a new group to the system, select the Access Groups tab and then select Add from the File menu or from the toolbar.

Note!

The main Desktop menu is divided into Configuration, Inspection, and Tools. Configuration enables you to create configurations. Inspection enables you to view data that is produced by workflows. Tools enables you to view data that is generated by the system. When you define an Access Group in the Access Controller, you can only check Write for Inspection- and Tools applications, so that users are able to manipulate data that is either generated by a workflow, or by the system. Configuration Write access is set per configuration from the Set Permissions view. For further information see Properties in Browser(3.0).
