In PhixFlow, privileges control access to certain functions. These are grouped together into roles - these roles are then applied to user groups, which give users access to the features they need.
Privileges
Privileges are used to define what actions can be performed in PhixFlow.
An overview of user administration is given in PhixFlow User Administration, one of the System Administration.
Form: Privilege Details
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the privilege. View privileges allow you to see that object throughout PhixFlow. E.g. 'View Streams' will allow you to view streams throughout PhixFlow. List privileges, e.g. 'List Streams', show the object on the left hand tool bar. If you have a list privilege, it is essential to also have the equivalent view privilege. E.g. If you have the 'List Streams' privilege, then you also need the 'View Streams' privilege. |
| Object | The object that this privilege applies to, e.g. Menu |
| Action | The type of privilege, e.g. List, Modify |
