Users and Permissions Dialog

Dialog description

Implement users and permissions in this database - check this option to activate user permissions to restrict editing of specific network groups to specific users. Only a Database Owner can turn user permissions on or off.

Only database owners can change database-wide settings - check this option to restrict editing of global settings to Database Owners. Only a Database Owner can turn protection of global settings on or off. This option is only enabled if user permissions are turned on.

Default permission is: - sets the default permission for all objects in the database for Database Users that do not have specific roles specified. The options are:

Implement network roles for asset networks in this database - controls whether network roles are to be set up for asset networks. This option is disabled by default for backwards compatibility reasons. Asset Users with no network role(s) assigned to them for asset networks in this version of InfoWorks ICM have full edit powers for all network objects, which is exactly the same behaviour as that of Asset User roles in previous versions of InfoWorks ICM.

Managing users

It is possible to add a Windows group as a Database User. Users who are members of such a Windows groups will automatically inherit the roles assigned to the group for relevant groups in the tree, in addition to the roles assigned specifically for the user.

When you click OK in the Users and Permissions dialog, you are prompted to confirm the changes you have requested. The confirmation dialog lists all the users affected, and the changes for each of those users.
