Profile Permissions

This help describes the user/user group permissions of the CUSTOMTOOLS database profiles.

At least the "standard" user rights are required in order to be allowed to use the CUSTOMTOOLS database.

NOTE: Users are not allowed to change their own profile permissions or profile related rights of the groups where they belong to.

Opening the profile permissions editor:

1. Start the CUSTOMTOOLS Administration.
2. Login to your CUSTOMTOOLS database
3. In the Database view, right-click the derised profile under the Profiles node and select Permissions. The Profile Rights dialog box appears.
   
   In the Profile Rights dialog box, you can set Permissions of the selected Profile associated to the Users and/or the User Groups. The available permissions are described later in this help page under the CUSTOMTOOLS Profile Level Permissions sub-topic.

NOTE: Being allowed to see the profile does not allow you to set the profile as active.

CUSTOMTOOLS Profile Level Permissions:

Users who have the Database Administrator and/or the Manage Profiles permission in the selected CUSTOMTOOLS database, have full access to the all database profiles no matter what permissions have been granted to that user in the Profile Rights dialog box. Administrators are also allowed to change any settings of any profile.

The user who creates the database, gets the owner rights automatically for the database and the default profile created on the database creation. The owner is allowed to specify the user rigths for all other users and for all user groups in the database.

Owner rights = Full access to the created database and all of its profiles.

All users having the Manage Users permission are allowed to change their own user rights.

The CUSTOMTOOLS database has always one administrator user called Admin. The Admin user cannot be removed from the database and its user rights could not be modified. The Admin user has the full control into the database and to all profiles in the database.

NOTE: The Manage Profiles permission on the database level overrides all profile level permissions above while it is being granted for the user. Users that has the Manage Profiles permission granted on the selected CUSTOMTOOLS Database also has full access to all profiles included in that database.
