Group permissions

TIBCO Nimbus® comprises a number of areas of features and functionality and each area can be enabled or disabled on a user-group basis. Disabling certain features of functionalities for a user group will prevent users within a particular user group from accessing them. This is useful, for example, if you don't want certain users to access a particular area of functionality until they have been trained on it.

By default, the <Everyone> group allows all users to access all features and functionality of TIBCO Nimbus® . If you need to restrict access to a certain area of functionality or a particular function then you must disable that option in the <Everyone> group. By disabling a feature or area of functionality, the feature or functionality becomes controlled. You can then grant access to particular user groups by enabling the option in the properties of specific user groups.

Note: User group permissions work in conjunction with user settings, so a user must have both a user group permission and the associated user setting or role enabled for them to access a particular function. You can still assign a particular setting or role to a user, but if they are in a user group where the associated user group permission is turned off, then they will not be able to access that particular functionality, or perform a particular role. For example, if you assign the statement set manager role to a user, but the Statement Sets permission is disabled for their user group, then the user will not be able to perform the duties associated with a statement set manager as they will not have access to statement sets.

3.Click the Permissions tab and deselect the options that you want to disable for all users.

Note: Whilst administrators are included in the <Everyone> group, you cannot disable functionality for the Administrators group, i.e. administrators always have full access.

3.Click the Permissions tab and select or deselect the options that you want to enable for those users within the user group.

Note: If a user appears in two user groups, one with a particular feature disabled and one with it enabled, the user will have access to the feature.
