This page is for PhixFlow administrators who need to assign privileges to roles. It describes the privilege settings. 

Overview

PhixFlow has many privileges, each representing a specific tasks that a PhixFlow user can do. For example to create and change a stream object a user needs the privileges Create Streams and Modify Streams.

Privileges are assigned to, for example, Designer, User, Administrator. Then roles and user groups are linked. For more information about how users, user groups, roles and privileges are connected, see pages in the User Administration topic.

• Modify: you can change an existing item

• Delete: you can delete an item.
