Security Settings-Effective Permissions

How do I open Security Settings?
  • In
    FactoryTalk Administration Console
    Explorer
    , right-click the resource and then select
    Security
    .
In
Security Settings
, select the
Effective Permissions
 tab to view the permissions currently in effect for a selected resource.
Permissions in effect on the resource are shown for both:
  • a user or group of users
  • a computer or group of computers
Required security permissions
To view permissions in effect on a resource requires these security permissions for the resource (for example, an application) or the container (for example, an area) where the resource is located:
  • Common > Read
  • Common > Configure Security
Understanding effective permissions
The
Effective Permissions
 tab does not show separate columns for
Allow
 and
Deny
 permissions, and does not distinguish between explicit and inherited permissions. Instead, the presence or absence of a check mark in the
Allowed
 column indicates the permissions in effect on the resource for the selected user and computer, or group:
  • If a check mark appears beside an action, the action is allowed, whether explicitly or by inheritance.
  • If a check mark does not appear beside an action, the action is denied, whether explicitly or by inheritance.
  • If an action category (for example, Common or Alarming) shows a gray check mark, one or more–but not all–of the actions inside the category are allowed. Expand the category to see which actions are allowed or denied.
Use these settings to select the permissions to view:
