I want to see a list of all users/user groups that with their permissions on a view. I thought by right-clicking on a view there would be that possibility but for the moment only way we know is via the system center–>users/groups–> selecting a group and then in views allow permission for that group. But then you have to check all the groups to see if they have permission or not. I’m looking the reverse : selecting a view and see who has permission on it…Does anyone know if this is possible ? If yes how ?
Hello,
Don’t know if you fully understand my question or maybe I don’t understand your comment but as I said in my first post I think it would be useful when you richt-click on a view in the surveyor that you (as administrator) can see which users or user groups can see that view , can write and config it. As it is now you have to go to the user/groups in system center and check every group to see if they have acces to a certain view. This is time consuming and you don’t have an easy overview of the permissions of one view…. Hoping this helps ?
Dirk, thanks for details. It certainly helps, so it’s the use case for the administrator users only. You need a mechanism to view the permission layer per view or element so that you don’t need to trawl through the system center. As Jens suggested, please submit a feature request. Thanks.
Hi Dirk,
Although there is no built-in way to achieve this, I found you could achieve this using an Interactive Automation script. I made a quick example:
I’ve published the script on our official GitHub, you can find it here.
Hello Jens,
I tested the script and it’s already a workaround to see the permissions on a view. Perhaps there is a little bug in it because when I deselect Write and Config for a certain group, the result of the script says that the group has config acces….? I suppose deselecting Write and Config should result in only read access ? or No Write and No config access.
Hopefully in a future release this feature will be implemented in a simple right click on a view 🙂
Thx for your effort.
Grts
Dirk
Hi Dirk,
Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to achieve this, I think it would be a great feature suggestion.
Dirk, can you explain why you want to view the permissions that includes all the users and user groups? If you think of Linux OS security permissions, it’s always about the user, user group and others for each file and directory. Give us an example.
