Managing Access Rights

The Access Right feature enables administrators to determine which users have access to a particular project and the type of access they have, to read or modify. This feature ensures the security of each experiment even though multiple users use the software.

Note

A user’s access rights will affect search results. Whenever a user conducts a search, only the nodes to which the user has access will be included in the search. Only administrators can access the Access Right feature.

To access the feature:

1. Go to the Explore menu.

2. Open the Projects or Screens nodes or a folder you want to grant access to. The Access Right button is accessible through the More button .
