Rights are security features that give groups and users the ability to perform TDV actions by letting them use associated tools and options. By default, no rights are given to any user except the administrator, who has rights to view and change everything in the TDV system.

This section covers the following topics:

Rights-based security architecture creates a division of labor and TDV access management by functional group responsibilities, as described in Group and User Rights. Users by default have no rights, because they access TDV through client connection rather than connecting directly to the server. For a description of these rights and the default groups to which they are assigned, see Summary of TDV Rights.

The rights available on the TDV system are:

In the TDV system, rights determine which parts of TDV each user can access and use.

Rights are best specified at the group level. Because users automatically inherit all rights assigned to the groups to which they belong, we recommend that you manage enterprise rights at the group level. Role-based management can be more efficient than assigning rights individually.

Assign the Access Tools right to those user groups who should have access to Studio or other TDV components.

TDV does not introspect new LDAP domains to obtain lists of potential users. When you set up LDAP for TDV, use LDAP tools to choose the specific users and groups who are to have access to TDV.

The following default users and groups are created in TDV during installation. These users and groups cannot be removed from TDV.
