Access Control Overview

Access Control allows you, either as the owner of an entity or a member of the SYSADMIN group, to define access rights that individual users or groups have to Deltek PM Compass features.

When you assign a group access rights to a workflow, for example, you give members of that group access to the workflow's data. If there are securable records in the view, the primary role for each user in the group defines the access rights. For a sample scenario, click here.

Access Control is available in many places or securable entities in Deltek PM Compass, and displays either as a tab or as a dialog box. For each entity, such as report, workflow, and dashboard, an Access Control List (ACL) exists.
