Use this page to view the resource permissions that apply to this group and, if you are using the MFDS Internal Security Manager, to set permissions for the group. Please note that the display and setting of permissions for MFDS Internal Security differs from that for other Security Managers.
The screen displays a tree structure. Where you are using a security manager other than the MFDS Internal Security Manager, expanding the top level node displays the various resource classes. Expanding a class displays the resource entities that it contains and the permissions that the group has for those entities. Please note, the permissions displayed are for those Access Control List entries for the resource entity that apply to the group, either by fully specifying the group ID or by a wildcard match.
If you are using the MFDS Internal Security Manager, permissions are displayed in an inverted tree structure. Those on lower branches include the permissions on the branches from which they descend. For example, the permission to modify a server includes the permission to start and stop the server. Therefore, Modify is shown as a descendant of Start/Stop.
When you grant a particular permission, any permissions that it includes are automatically granted. Hence, when you check the Modify permission, the Import Start/Stop permission is automatically checked as well. Where a check box for a permission is greyed out, it indicates that the permission is included by other permissions that have been granted to the group. To revoke a permission that is included by others, you must first revoke those other permissions.
