Separating Roles between Administrators

On separating roles of information security administrator (ISA) and application administrator, the Member of Groups, Mandatory Access Control, Security Levels, Access Management and Available Printers tabs will be available only to ISA.

When the ISA does not have permissions to update user, after changing group of users or the list of privilege holders the system shows message that the changes will be applied only after the user is updated. To update users, contact the application administrator.

NOTE. Holders of the Applying User Permissions at DBMS Level privilege are determined on role separation.
