Viewing Group and User Objects

To view user and group objects, use the User Objects tab or the Group Objects panel in the Users section on the Properties side panel in the web application and using the View > User Objects/Group Objects main menu item in the desktop 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:

To set up filtering, click the button on the toolbar or side panel and select the filtering option:

All Objects. The list shows both types of objects: with access permissions and without permissions.
With Access Permissions. The list displays objects, for which the user or group has some access permissions. If the user or group has no permissions for parent object, but has permissions for a dependent object, when the Access Permissions Enabled filter is enabled, the parent object is also shown in the tree but is highlighted with contrasting color and italicized.
Without Access Permissions. The list shows objects, for which the user or group has no access permissions. If the user or group has permissions for a parent object, but has no permissions for a dependent object, when the Access Permissions Disabled filter is enabled, the parent object is also shown in the tree but is highlighted with contrasting color and italicized.
