Item Description

User list

List of users as set up in the Users And Permissions dialog.

The order that the users are displayed in are sorted alphabetically by username by default.

Check the Sort by Full Name box to sort users by full name.

Tree view

Displays a tree view of the model groups in the database and the role (Owner, Branch Owner or Viewer) of the currently selected user in relation to each object.

A role marked with an asterisk indicates that the role has been set directly for that object, otherwise the role has been inherited from the parent object in the tree.

Database owners will display the 'Owner' role for all objects in the database.

Show all types of object in the tree

The tree view displays only model groups by default. Check this box to also display all database items within the model groups.

Selection buttons

Use the selection buttons to check the model group items in the tree view as follows:

  • Select if Branch Owner - Checks the boxes of all model groups for which the currently selected user has been specifically appointed as a branch owner.
  • Select if Owner - Checks the boxes of all model groups for which the currently selected user has been specifically appointed as an owner.
  • Clear Selection - Clears all currently checked boxes.

Note: A user may become an owner of a "child" model group as a result of being appointed an owner of the parent group. Only those groups to which the user is specifically appointed as an owner will be checked using the selection buttons.

Change Permissions options

Set permissions for model groups as follows:

  • Set user as Owner of selected groups - Appoints the currently selected user as an owner of all model groups in the tree view that are currently checked.
  • Set user as Branch Owner of selected groups (if not already Owner) - Appoints the currently selected user as a branch owner of all model groups in the tree view that are currently checked. If the user is already an owner of the group, the role will not be changed.
  • Remove user's permissions from selected groups - Sets the role of the currently selected user to Viewer for all model groups in the tree view that are currently checked.

Note: Permissions of "child" model groups will be set according to the permissions set on the parent group.
