Configure User Rights Dialog Overview
This section provides a general overview of the menus and parameters available in the Configure User Rights dialog. This dialog presents options for configuring user permissions. Selecting sub-tabs switches between the views. Each time you launch the Configure User Rights dialog, a Searching for new devices progress bar displays directly above the Refresh button. This progress bar indicates that the DashBoard Server and URM is searching for device information that is not currently stored in the DashBoard Server.
You can access this dialog using one of the following methods:
expand the DashBoard Server node, right-click the DashBoard URM node, and select Permissions.
right-click on any device in the DashBoard client Tree View, and select Permissions; the device is pre-selected in the dialog.

1.
The information displayed in the Devices tab is a copy of the Basic Tree View with extra nodes for the menus and parameters of devices. Use the options in this tab to specify permissions for devices, and assign users or roles to specific tasks. Permissions can be as specific or as general as required: specify permissions for a single menu on a single card to setting permissions for an entire frame contents, to setting global permissions for all devices detected on your subnet. Refer to the section “Devices Tab Overview” for details on the options available in this tab.
2.
The Users tab displays a tree view that lists the roles and the user accounts assigned to each role. The available roles are shown as the top-level nodes in the tree with users assigned those roles listed beneath. Selecting a role allows the Administrator to see all permission settings for the role, and edit the permissions for that role. Selecting a user allows the Administrator to view/modify all permissions for the user and all groups to which the user belongs. User accounts that are not assigned to any roles are shown under Other Users. A list of all users is shown under the All Users node. Refer to the section “Users Tab Overview” for details on the options available in this tab.
3.
The Tools tab displays information from the DashBoard Server that cannot be represented on the Devices tab because the device is no longer detected in the current DashBoard client tree view. Elements in the Tools tab are shown in the hierarchy of the settings. Any type of device can be shown in this tree. The devices for which permissions have been defined in this tab need not be present in the current user’s DashBoard client. Refer to the section “Tools Tab Overview” for details on the options available in this tab.
4.
This check box reminds the Administrator of the number of users/roles that can be configured and when that limit is reached. If the DashBoard Server is not in compliance with its license (there are more users/roles configured than the license allows), all configuration is disabled and the Configure User Rights dialog displays an error message that warns the Administrator must take action to re-able configuration. This checkbox only displays if your license allows a set number of configurable users/roles.
5.
These buttons can be used to copy parameters and permissions to and from user, roles, and/or objects.
Click Import to copy from one object (of the same type) to the currently selected object.
Click Export to copy permissions from the currently selected object to another object of the same type.
6.
Click Apply to save changes to all users and roles with unsaved changes. Until the Apply button is clicked, all users/groups with unsaved changes are marked with an asterisk (*).Clicking Clear clears any unsaved changes, restoring items to the previously saved states.
