Global Functions User Rights

The third step in user rights is to assign which global functions in ToolsTalk 2 are accessible.

Select the System administration icon in the left menu bar.
Select the User group icon in the top menu bar.

The workspace window shows a table of user groups.
Double click on one row in the table to display the menus for editing.
Click the desired tab in the Group permissions menu.
Set desired user rights for the selected user group. A selected check box indicates that the feature is active.

The possible combinations are described in the table.

Changes are automatically saved.

If a user group has the Create & Delete user rights level for a controller, it is possible to create and edit all controller configurations.

Global functions is a group of ToolsTalk 2 administrative functions and library functions with icons in the left side menu. A user group can be given different user rights to global functions.

If no user rights are allowed for a function, the function is inaccessible to the user and the icon is hidden from the user.
