Security and Licensing in EPM SA and Touchstone
Use EPM Security Administrator and the Access Control Tabs in Touchstone to define security rights and permissions.
The level of security you have and the groups/roles to which you are assigned determine the fields and tabs that you are able to see in Touchstone.
In EPM SA, you can set access so that areas of Touchstone are disabled and/or invisible. For example, you can disable Settings for a group of users which means that those users won't see the Settings group in the Touchstone Navigation pane.
Security uses the most permissive access. For example, if a user has read-only access to a project but is a member of a group that has full access to the same project, the user will have full access.
