Viewpoint organizes roles based on Viewpoint pages, as grouped by the Menu bar. For example, the Home View permission enables a user to access the Viewpoint Home page. Other permissions enable the user to access various widgets on the Home page. This topic describes the different permissions you can manage for a role.
In this topic:
Viewpoint uses permissions to enable you to control user access. For example, you can grant a user the ability to see a feature, but not edit it. The Viewpoint permissions control access to the various pages and specific functions on that page.
Some permissions are dependent on other permissions. For example, the Job Edit Admin permission enables you to manage jobs created by other users. When you grant this permission, Viewpoint also automatically grants the Job Details permission, which enables you to view details for your own jobs, and the Workload View permission, which enables you to access the Workload page.
The following table describes each of the Viewpoint permissions. For ease of use, the permissions are listed in this topic in alphabetical order.
