wbutil-PermissionsBrowser

This view allows you to quickly review the objects that someone, who has been assigned a given role may access. You access this view by right-clicking RoleService in the Nav tree and clicking Views > Permissions Browser.

Note: In Niagara, there is added support for the UserService in the Permissions Browser view. Use the Show Permissions for drop-down list to switch between permissions for Users, and for Roles. When viewing permissions for Users, the view displays a separate column for each user as well as any prototype.

Figure 1. Permissions Browser view showing permissions for roles and users

Columns represent roles or users, and rows identify the objects in the station, with each table cell showing user permissions.

Yellow rows are objects explicitly assigned with permissions.
Dimmed rows represent objects that inherit their permissions from their parent object.

Double-click a cell to bring up the permissions window for that role or user depending on which option is selected in the Show Permissions for drop-down list. This allows you to globally change permission levels for any category in the station.


Column	Description
First column	Each Nav tree node occupies a row in the table. This expandable tree lets you navigate to objects of interest to review current permissions.
Admin	Reports the rights assigned to the `admin` role. As this is a super user, `admin` has rights to read, write and invoke an action for all objects. permissionsR = readW = writeI = invoke action`admin` level permissions appear in upper case.
User	Reports the rights assigned to the `user` role. The default is no rights assigned. permissionsr = readw = writei = invoke action`operator` permissions appear in lower case.
