Viewing Group and User Objects

To view user and group objects, use the User Objects or Group Objects panel in the Users section by means of the View > User Objects or Group Objects main menu items in the desktop application and on the Properties side panel in the web application:

To easily view access permissions of a user or a group of users for repository objects, select one user or group of users in the Users or Groups section. When several users or groups of users are selected, the panel is empty.

The object tree displays the Access Permissions column containing the access permissions that the selected user or group of users has for a specific object.

NOTE. Checking effective access permissions for repository objects may take quite a long time.

The following operations are available on the User Objects or Group Objects panel:
