Setting access permissions on user accounts
Each item in the Quick2Config database has a set of access permissions
associated with it. Access permissions are based on the assignment of two
characteristics: access group and privilege. The access groups, which establish
groupings of users, are owner, group, and everyone. By default, the owner of an
item is the user who adds the item to the hierarchy. The group for an item is the
user group (or groups) that have been given access to the item. The owner of the
item grants access to user groups. Everyone includes the entire set of
Quick2Config users.
When you add a new user account to the Quick2Config database, you become the
owner of the user account and Quick2Config assigns the default access
permissions to the item. Table 11 lists the default access permissions.
