CIMPLICITY6.4. Configuration Object: Inherit Permissions
About this task
(All action types)
Computers can be given permission to be included in performing the navigation action of a selected node or can be excluded. The configuration determines whether or not to grant permissions for the node and identifies the computers that will be included or excluded.
| A | Inherit Permissions. |
| B | Include/exclude. |
- Inherit Permissions
A selected node can inherit the specifications to include or exclude computers from performing the navigation action.
Select one of the following in the Inherit permissions field in the Configuration Editor right pane for the selected node.
| Yes | The node will inherit computer permissions from any higher node in the tree path, up to a node that does not inherit permissions. |
| No | The node will not inherit permissions from its parent. Note: Since the root node has no parent, select No for that node. (Yes is meaningless.) |
| Default | No |
- Include/Exclude
Computers can be included or excluded from the root node menu screen.
For example, a broad range of computers can be identified to be excluded from the screen. However within that range a few specific computers may need access. They can be selected to be included.
The opposite can also be configured. A broad range of computers can be identified to be included to view the screen. However within that range a few specific computers may need to be excluded. They can be identified to be excluded.
- Guidelines: Include/exclude.
- Computers to be excluded.
- Computers to be included.
Keep the following in mind when you are determining what computer or range of computers you plan to include or exclude from the root node screen.
- If no computers are added to the Include list, all computers in the network will have access to the root node screen, except any computers or range of computers that are in the Exclude list.
- If one or more computers are added to the Include list, they will be the only computers that have access to the root node screen.
Computers to be Excluded
Computers that meet the criteria listed in the Exclude objects do not have permission to access the root node screen.
