Dialog 'Permissions'

Function: The permissions of user groups are defined here with which they can execute specific actions on specific objects in the project.

Call: Menu bar: “Project User Management”.

Every change made in the dialog is applied immediately.

Actions

All possible actions on objects of the projects are listed in “Actions”. The actions are divided into four categories and assignments to all current objects of the project are listed below each action. For each "action->object" assignment, you can define the permission for each existing user group.

Action categories:

“Commands”	Actions regarding the execution of commands
“Users, groups and permissions”	Actions regarding the configuration of user accounts, user groups, and their permissions
“Object types”	Actions regarding the creation of object types
“Project objects”	Actions regarding the viewing, modification, removal, and child-object handling of objects of the project

Actions in detail:

“Execute”	Execute a menu command
“Create”	Create a new object in the project
“Add or remove children”	Add or remove a child object below an existing object
“Modify”	Modify an object in the editor or modification of user, group, and permission settings in the corresponding editor/dialog
“Remove”	Delete or remove an object
“View”	Open the view of an object in the editor

Possible target of an action. This can be specific objects of the project, or the user, group, and permission configuration.

Permissions

All defined user groups (except the "Owner" group) are listed in “Permissions” with a toolbar for configuring the permissions of a group.

Granted	The action, which is selected in the actions view, on the selected target(s) is granted for the selected group.
Denied	The action, which is selected in the “Actions” view, on the selected target(s) is denied for the selected group.
	The permission that executes the actions, which are selected in the “Actions” view, on the selected targets has not been defined explicitly. However, the actions are granted by default; for example, because the corresponding permissions have been granted to the parent object. Example: The group has the permission for the object "myplc". As a result, it also has the permission by default for the object "myplc.pb_1".
	The action, which is expanded in the actions view, on the selected targets has not been denied explicitly. However, it is denied by default; for example, because it has been denied to the parent object.
No symbol	There are currently multiple actions selected in the Actions view for which the group does not have the same permission.

Toolbar:

“Grant”	The selected action on the selected target object is granted explicitly for the selected group.
“Deny”	The selected action on the selected target object is denied explicitly for the selected group.
“Clear”	The permission for the selected action on the selected target object is reset to the default value for the selected group.

“Export/Import”	Opens a menu with the commands “Export all permissions” “Export selected permissions” “Import permissions”
“Export all permissions”	Exports all actions and their configured access permissions of the current project to a user-specific file of data type `‎.perms‎`. To do this, the “Export Permissions” dialog opens for you to specify a file name and to select a location in the file directory. The default file type is `‎Permissions (.perms)‎`.
“Export selected permissions”	Exports all selected actions and their configured access permissions of the current project to a user-specific file of data type `‎.perms‎`. To do this, the “Export Permissions” dialog opens for you to specify a file name and to select a location in the file directory. The default file type is `‎Permissions (.perms)‎`.
“Import permissions”	The contents of a `‎.perms‎` file is merged with the actions and permissions of the current project. Groups that are part of the file but not part of the project are ignored. The actions and permissions are aligned by name. To do this, the “Import Permissions” opens for you to select the `‎.perms‎` file from the file system.
