You may assign access control rights from a unit perspective. From this perspective, you select 
one or more units, specify the users/user groups for which rights will be assigned, then allow/
deny the permission to perform the action for each user/user group. See Unit Access Rights on 
page 146.

•

You may also assign access control rights from a unit group perspective. This is similar to 
assigning access control rights for a unit, except all units that belong to the selected unit group 
will be affected. See Changing the unit group properties on page 215.

•

You may also assign access control rights from a user perspective. You select a user account, 
specify the units for which rights will be assigned, then indicate the permission to perform the 
action (none, allow, deny or inherit) for each unit. See User Access Rights on page 239.

•

You may assign access control rights from a user group perspective. This is similar to 
assigning access control rights for a user, except all users who are members of the selected user 
group will be affected. See User Group Access Rights on page 246.
