Security

The functions on this page allow the system administrator to define new users, group those users into security groups, and define the functions those groups are allowed to perform.

A user may belong to any number of groups, and has the security permissions of all of those groups.

Each application is then assigned a list of groups which are allowed to access it, and every database object is assigned security by group and method (add/update/delete/search) as well.

A special group called "Everybody" is recognized automatically by the system. This group can be used to grant global permissions, such as universal ability to read the job queue, for example.  Use extreme caution in granting access to the Everybody group.
