# Folder User Rights

The first step in user rights is to assign which folders in the plant structure that are accessible.

1. Select the System administration icon in the left menu bar.

2. Select the User group icon in the top menu bar.

   The workspace window shows a table of user groups.

3. Double click on one row in the table to display the menus for editing.

4. Click the desired tab in the Group permissions menu.

5. 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.

The plant structure contains a folder named All controllers. This folder contains all controllers that are connected to the ToolsTalk 2 server.

Customized folders and sub-folders can be created for improved visibility and for logical grouping of controllers.

User rights to folders
Parameter | Description | Condition
--- | --- | ---
Same permission on all folders | Radio button If marked, the selected user rights are applicable for all folders in the plant structure (new included). | If unmarked: If the plant structure is changed, it may be necessary to update the user rights for certain folders.
Manually set permissions on each folder | If marked, the selected user rights are applicable only for the selected folders in the plant structure. |
Read | Checkbox The user group can see the folder and its content. | If unmarked: The folder and its content is invisible to the user group.
Update | Checkbox The user group can move, copy and delete controllers to/from the folder. |
Create & Delete | Checkbox With Create & Delete permission for a folder, the user can create and delete a sub-folder within a folder. With Create & Delete permission for folder All controllers, the user can also delete a controller from ToolsTalk 2. With Create & Delete permission for all folders (new included), the user also has the possibility to delete main folders. |

A folder with no marked user rights is invisible to the user group in the plant structure .

The minimum user rights level for a folder is Read. This level makes a folder visible and its content of subfolders and controllers are also visible.

If a controller is visible, its configurations and parameters can at least be read. Additional user rights can be assigned to the user group.
