Managing Permission Groups

The rights management allows you to create permission groups and assign specific editing rights to them. You can also subsequently edit or delete permission groups.

Note:

The permission groups predefined by Eplan - "Administrators" and "Guests" - cannot be edited or deleted.

Precondition:

You have opened the rights management: File > Extras > Command group Extensions > Rights management > Rights management
  1. To the left of the Rights management dialog, select the Permission groups folder and click (New).
  2. In the Permission group dialog, enter a name and short description of the permitted editing options for the new permission group. In contrast to the user names, the names of the permission groups are case-sensitive, i.e. "QS" and "Qs" are two different permission groups.
  3. Click [OK].

    The permission group is generated, but editing rights have not yet been assigned.
  4. Assign editing rights to the permission group as described under "Assign rights to permission groups".
  1. Select the Permission groups folder on the left in the Rights management dialog.
  2. Select a permission group in the right-hand field and click (Copy).
  3. In the Permission group dialog, enter a name and short description of the permitted editing options for the new permission group. In contrast to the user names, the names of the permission groups are case-sensitive, i.e. "QS" and "Qs" are two different permission groups.
  4. Click [OK].

    The permission group is generated and receives the editing rights of the previously selected permission group.
  5. Modify, if required, the editing rights as described under "Assign rights to permission groups".
  1. Select the Permission groups folder on the left in the Rights management dialog.
  2. Select a (self-defined) permission group in the right-hand field and click (Edit).
  3. In the Permission group dialog, change the name or description.
  4. Click [OK].

    The dialog is closed and the changed data is displayed in the Rights management dialog.
  1. Select the Permission groups folder on the left in the Rights management dialog.
  2. Select a (self-defined) permission group in the right-hand field and click (Delete).

    After confirming the prompt, the permission group is deleted. A permission group can only be deleted if it is not assigned to any user.
  1. In the Rights management dialog, click the sign next to the Permission groups folder to open it, and select a permission group.

    The available rights are displayed on the right and are grouped according to topic area.
  2. Click the plus sign to open the subordinate rights in front of a topic area.

    The rights are divided into editing rights for menu items, dialogs, and API actions. The rights for dialogs are also identified by "[Dialog]". The rights for API actions are also identified by "[Interface]".
  3. Activate the check boxes next to the rights you want the permission group to have, and deactivate those that are to be revoked from the permission group.
  4. Click [OK].

    The activated rights are assigned to the permission group.

    If all subordinate rights are deselected for a topic area, then the check box for the topic area is displayed in gray.

Tip:

You can assign or revoke all of the rights for a particular topic area by selecting or deselecting the check box in front of the topic area.
