Determining a User’s System Actions and User Access Controls

A function is provided in the Workspace application (it’s also provided as a WCC component) that allows you to determine the system actions and user access controls of the currently logged-in user.

To display user access information, select User Access Privileges from the Help button menu on the Workspace application’s main toolbar.

The following dialog is displayed:

This dialog displays the following columns of information:

  • Privileges - These are the privileges held by the logged-in user, based on the groups and/or positions to which the user has been mapped.
  • System Actions - This is an alphabetical list of all systems actions. The Authorized column indicates whether or not the logged-in user has that system action.
  • User Access Sets - This is an alphabetical list of all user access controls. The Authorized column indicates whether or not the logged-in user has that user access control.

To determine whether or not the logged-in user has the required system action(s) and user access control needed for a particular function, see User Access Control to System Action Mapping.
