Transfers

The following tables list the tasks that users can perform on transfers.

Transfers can be assigned to departments. A transfer can be assigned to only one department in the system. The super administrator can choose not to assign a department to the transfer, but this offers no special properties to the transfer. If a transfer has not been assigned to a particular department, then it can only be administered by super administrators. Transfers do not have a visibility associated with them. A department administrator can access or view transfers in his own department and the departments that he can manage. When a user with transfer rights logs in to perform a transfer, they will see all the transfers that they are authorized to access, regardless of the departments to which the transfers have been assigned.

A department administrator can see users, groups and servers in his own department and the departments that he can manage as well as users, groups and servers from other departments that have a visibility of public. If super administrators updates a transfer definition originally created by department administrators, then only the information that department administrators have access to can be used. Otherwise, an error will occur. Care should be taken when changing the department on a transfer definition. The user, group and server visibility need to be considered.

UpdateTransferDefinitionRight enables a user to add, update, delete and view transfers. ViewTransferDefinitionRight enables a user to view an internet transfer definition.
