Group-dependent restriction of functionality

Configuring permissions for an element of the visualization

Permissions for visualization-elements are not granted to individual users, but to groups with assigned users.

Requirement: A Visualization object is open with at least one inserted visualization element.

Click a visualization element in the editor.
Click the Value field of the Permissions element property in the Properties view.
The Permissions dialog opens.
Select the permissions that the respective user group should have for the visualization element.
Note: If the option Group hierarchy is used is activated, the groups lower in the hierarchy cannot be granted more permissions than groups higher in the hierarchy.

In the Visualization Element List of a visualization, the Permissions column shows the element permissions granted to groups.

In the project below the application, a visualization is stored which has at least one element with restricted permissions.

Open the Visualization Manager and click the User Management tab.
Click the List Usage of Groups button.
In Messages, all elements with restricted permissions are listed which exist in the visualizations that are used across the application. This will give you an overview of functional limitations.
Click the Update Visualizations/Hotkeys button.
The Update Visualizations and Hotkeys dialog opens. Here you can centrally rename groups, delete groups, or change group permissions. The affected visualization elements are updated. This means that the Access Rights property is updated for each of the affected elements: There, the group names are removed or renamed or the permissions are reset.
