Role Functional Rights Explained

You can assign functional rights to a role if you selected Staff acting in this role should inherit rights specific to the role from the Role Profile > General window.

Only rights recognized when staff act in roles display. Administrative rights that are not related to roles are hidden.

The rights defined with the role are applied when the staff are assigned to the role and are working on the project where the role is assigned.

Note: When a staff is assigned a role, they receive the highest of their combination of security rights (including those assigned in their staff profile and any other security groups they may be assigned to). A staff cannot perform a function if the functional right for the staff is undefined. If a functional right is selected as Never allow in a security group where the staff is assigned, it overrides the right being granted in any security groups or roles.

The functional right assignment can be one of the following:

  • Undefined. Access is not yet assigned.
  • Granted. Access is allowed.
  • Never Allowed. Restricts all access, including any inherited access. This keeps the users assigned to the security group from performing the function even when the same users are members of another security group or assigned a role that has been granted the same permission.
