Application Rights Subtask

Use the fields in this subtask table window to assign Read-Only, Full, or Deny rights to a user in one or more Costpoint applications within a module.

You may, for example, have given a user group Full rights to a specific module, but want to assign Read-Only or Deny rights to one or more specific applications within that module.

Note: You cannot assign Deny rights at a higher level and then assign Full or Read-Only rights at a lower level.

As you drill down to lower levels to assign specific user group rights, the header information displays the module information (ID and name) to help keep you oriented.

Use this screen whenever you want to assign application rights (and drill down further to assign result set rights) to one or more specific user groups.
