Groups Security Tab

Use this tab to define the permissions the users in the selected group have in the Security section of the PPM Administrator application.

This tab is visible only when the logged-in user is assigned as a system administrator. You can assign this role by selecting the SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR option on the Users Products tab.

You can define whether a menu option should be enabled and/or visible for the group when its members log in to PPM Administrator. You can select the parent and child permissions individually. If all of the items (parent and child nodes) are disabled and you enable the parent, the child is reset to Enabled automatically.

• Select the Visible option to make the menu option visible to the group.
• Select the Enabledoption to allow the group to use the menu option or perform the corresponding action.
