5-7 Permissions
You can use the Permissions option in the Tools menu to assign permissions for various features to Groups and
Users.
5-7-1 Best Practices for Assigning Permissions
• Avoid granting full access controls.
• When possible, assign rights on a broad level rather than assigning individual access rights. Assign
permissions to groups, rather than users.
NOTE: The Permissions option is only available to the admin user. Each user/group can only view policies
and tools assigned to them.
Each user/group can only view/perform actions depending on the permissions assigned. When a new user is
created, it inherits the permissions assigned to the group to which it belongs.
