Permissions#

The Permissions page is the per-scope rule table that decides what a user, group, or role can do on the data layer. Rights gate the UI surfaces a user can reach; permissions gate the actions a user can take on objects, classes, or all objects of the active tenant. See Rights and permissions for the bigger picture.

Open the page from the user menu (avatar) ▸ SettingsUser managementPermissions.

Layout#

The page is a single table inside a card titled Permissions, with a filter bar above it and a New permission + button.

Filter bar#

Three comboboxes plus a More ⌄ expander filter the table:

Filter What it narrows
User / Role / Group Show only rules granted to the selected subject.
Scope All Objects, a specific class (for example Server), or a specific object lifecycle.
Permission The action category (Read, Edit, Archive, Delete, Object lifecycle, Configured permissions, …).
More Reveals additional filters such as scope details or the granting role.

Table columns#

Column Notes
Actions Trash icon to delete the rule.
User / Role / Group The subject the rule applies to (avatar + name).
Scope Which objects the rule covers, for example Object lifecycle, All Objects, or a specific class.
Scope Details Class-specific or object-specific qualifiers (n / a if not applicable).
Permission One or more actions: Read, Edit, Archive, Delete, Create, or composite labels such as All permissions.

Add a permission#

  1. Click New permission +.
  2. Pick the Subject: a user, role, or group.
  3. Pick the Scope: All Objects, a class, or Object lifecycle.
  4. Pick one or more Permission values from the list.
  5. Save.

The new rule is evaluated on the next request from the affected subject; no logout is necessary.

Delete a permission#

Use the trash icon in the row's Actions cell. A confirmation dialog protects the action.

Combining rules#

Permissions are additive: every rule that grants something contributes to the user's effective access. There is no deny override. A user can act on an object if any rule that covers them grants the requested permission on a scope that includes the object.

Tenant scope#

Like every other configuration, permissions belong to the active tenant. Granting a permission in tenant A does not give the same access in tenant B.
