Authorization
Group assignments can authorize users' permissions with Spotfire Server and should be granted only to users who are fully trusted. The list is only a subset of all available Spotfire groups.
For a full list, see Roles.
- Roles
Groups define standard roles for administering and using Spotfire. Each special group enables a set of licenses that correspond to an administrative or user role. To assign a role to a user, just add the user to one of the special groups in the following list. - Licenses
Generally, licenses do not grant further permissions to Spotfire users (as opposed to groups). Rather, licenses provide a way to toggle certain functionality on or off for groups of users in the user interface. This topic discusses exceptions. - Preferences
Preferences are usually set by administrators. Some preferences can have an impact on security, and these should be set only after considering what possible security impact changing the preference might have. A non-exhaustive list of such preferences are listed below.
