Profile Permissions

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 Profile Permissions sub-topic.

The basic user of CUSTOMTOOLS have only permissions required to use the CUSTOMTOOLS profiles they need. In the most usual cases, the basic users have the following rights:

Read	Profile is visible to the user in the database but the user is not allowed to use it.
Use	Permission to set the selected profile as active.

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

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 its default profile. The user with the owner rights 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.

Read	Profile is visible to the user in the database but the user is not allowed to use it.
Use	Permission to set the selected profile as active.
Write	Permission to modify settings of the selected profile. With this permission, the users are allowed for example to manage the Batch Operation Templates and, to remove the Unused Codes of the Sequence through the New Code dialog box in SOLIDWORKS Add-In.
Set access	Permission to maintain permissions of the selected profile for the other users and/or user groups.
Delete	Permission to delete the selected profile.

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 Database also has full access to all profiles included in that database.
