Trustees – introduction

Trustees (trusted units) are workstations and computer groups for which the access rights are defined. Depending on the trust level, units can have various rights assigned. To learn more on the access rights, see section Access rights.

User groups

Defining separate access rights for each user would be a time consuming operation. Therefore, grouping the individual workstations into maps created by the system administrator is recommended. If the created map structure reflects the real interdependencies between the users, it is possible to set the access rights in a quick manner. An example of map structure is presented below.

To learn more on the calculation of effective access rights for the above structure, see section Example of structure.

There are two methods to manage the access rights:

•Management from the level of the properties of a given user, group or atlas – Managing via user hierarchy

•Management with the Managing trustees function
