Purpose

It is necessary to globally manage the permissions of the thin client users, e.g. for editing system information.

Solution

Use the Access Control function in the UMS.

Additional Information

There are different places where to open the Access Control dialog:

• In the main menu under Edit > Access Control
• In the symbol bar under
• In the context menu of a thin client or a thin client folder under Access Control

Defining end user permissions:

1. Click Access Control in the context menu of a thin client (folder).
   The Access Control dialog opens.
2. Click Add to select a new user/group.
3. The corresponding Effective Rights will be listed in the lower part of the mask.
4. Allow or Deny the permissions of the selected group or user for the selected thin clients.

   If you have changed the rights of registered users they only take effect after a refresh.
