Possible target of an action

This can be specific objects of the project, or the user, group, and permission configuration.

Granted

The action, which is selected in the actions view, on the selected target(s) is granted for the selected group.

Denied

The action, which is selected in the Actions view, on the selected target(s) is denied for the selected group.

The permission that executes the actions, which are selected in the Actions view, on the selected targets has not been defined explicitly. However, the actions are granted by default. For example, because the corresponding permission has been granted to the parent object. Example: The group has the permission for the "myplc" object. As a result, it also has the permission by default for the "myplc.pb_1" object.

The action, which is expanded in the actions view, on the selected targets has not been denied explicitly. However, it is denied by default; for example, because it has been denied to the "parent object".

No symbol

There are currently multiple actions selected in the Actions view for which the group does not have the same permission.

Grant

The selected action on the selected target object is granted explicitly for the selected group.

Deny

The selected action on the selected target object is denied explicitly for the selected group.

Clear

The permission for the selected action on the selected target object is reset to the default value for the selected group.

Export/Import

Opens a menu with the commands

Export all permissions

Exports all actions and their configured access permissions of the current project to a user-specific file of data type *.perms

To do this, the Export Permissions dialog opens for you to specify a file name and to select a location in the file directory. The default file type is Permissions (*.perms).

Export selected permissions

Exports all selected actions and their configured access permissions of the current project to a user-specific file of data type *.perms

To do this, the Export Permissions dialog opens for you to specify a file name and to select a location in the file directory. The default file type is Permissions (*.perms).

Import permissions

The contents of a *.perms file is merged with the actions and permissions of the current project. Groups which are part of the file but not part of the project are ignored. The actions and permissions are aligned by name.

If the permissions of the imported file differ from the permissions in the project, then the permissions in the project are overwritten.

To do this, the Import Permissions opens for you to select the *.perms file from the file system.
