Configuration Security Grid

  • Process — This column displays the process name.
  • Name — This column displays the configuration name.
  • Description — This column displays the configuration description.
  • Owner — This column displays the user ID that created the configuration file.

Even the owner cannot modify the file when the Read only check box is selected. Click the column heading to sort the records by the column field.

Access Control grid

  • User — Users refer to individuals who can be given the right to open and view the configuration file.
  • Group — Groups are composed of individual users and provide a convenient way of assigning multiple user rights to the configuration file. A user can be a member of any number of groups. The SYSADMIN group is a special group that has access to administrative information.
  • Role — Roles define the permissions of a user. Each user has a primary role, such as an analyst or a project manager. You can override the primary role for an individual by entering a role next to a group or a user.
  • Read Only — This option, when selected, allows the creator of the configuration file (or any member of the SYSADMIN group) to provide a user or a group with Read Only access to the configuration file.

Only the configuration file owner or a member of the SYSADMIN group can delete a configuration file. If you are viewing a personal configuration with the same name as an existing shared configuration that you do not own, the Configuration Security page displays a message informing you that the configuration you are viewing cannot be shared, instead of the Access Control grid with the New and Delete buttons.
