The Permission administration maintenance document is used to create new permissions or edit existing ones. The Permission Lookup allows you to search for and view existing permissions. You can view summarized information about the permission detail values as well as the roles that are currently associated with this permission.
The Permission Info section identifies the permissions with a unique system-assigned ID number, a template, namespace, name and description.
The Permission Details section identifies the permission values that KIM needs to make this permission function. These values vary greatly depending on the type of permission being created. It is highly recommended that users view similar permissions (those with the same Template ID) and discuss Permission Details with technical resources to ensure values are entered correctly.
|
Extreme caution should be exercised when modifying existing permissions or adding new ones. Even small changes can have application-wide consequences. Changes should be made only after sufficient testing with your local configuration. Typically, the Permission document does not route for approval and is only used by members of the System Manager or Technical Administrator roles to create new or modify existing records. |
