Defining Access Permissions
About this task
By default, upon creation, each user management entity (user, group, or role) can be edited by any SOTI MobiControl other user management entity. You can (and should) limit access to the entity editing, and even viewing, to the relevant personnel.
To define what user(s), group(s), and role(s) will be able to view/edit an entity:
Procedure
- Select Users and Permissions from the main menu.
- In the left pane, select the required tab (Roles, Users, or Groups).
- Right-click the required entity to open the context menu.
- Select Access Permissions to open the Access Permissions dialog (see Access Permissions).
- Optional: To set access permissions to their default (the entity itself, the Administrator role, and whatever other entities have the required rights in your environment), click Save without making any changes.
