Edit Group Permissions dialog

This dialog is used to view and set permissions on a selected Group (i.e. Master Group, Model Group,) for multiple users.

Use the Manage User Permissions dialog to view and set permissions of a selected user for multiple groups within the database.

Use the Users and Permissions dialog to enable permissions for the database and to edit the list of database users.

To display the Edit Group Permissions dialog, right click on a Master Group or Model Group in the Explorer window and select Advanced then Edit group permissions from the popup menu. This menu option is only available if User Permissions are enabled and you are a Database Owner.

Example of dialog in InfoAsset Manager

The list in the dialog top half shows the owners that have been specifically appointed to that selected model group, with their corresponding roles as far as the group is concerned. In the screenshot above, the user "parkerm" has been given specific roles of "Collection Asset Owner" and "Distribution Asset Owner" for the selected group.

The list in the second half of the dialog displays all the users set up for the Master Database. It also shows, to the right of the usernames, any inherited roles for the selected group, if any. For example, it will list owners of "parent" groups who have, by default, inherited roles for the "child" group. In the example above, the user "parkerm" has automatic full editing rights on the selected modelgroup as this user is a Database Owner (this is indicated by the [database owner] text appended to the username) and as the Don't inherit roles for this object checkbox is not active.
