System Administrator Scenarios › How to Set Up Partitions › Assign User Access to Partitions

Assign User Access to Partitions

Access rights determine what information users can see and the functions they can perform. The administrator can grant access rights to users (resources), groups, OBS units, or globally to all users. Partitioning affects what objects are exposed to users. Therefore, partitioning and access rights work together.

If a user has access rights to an instance of a partitioned object, the user can see partitioned views of the instance. The user can see the instance even if the user is not a member of the partition to which the object instance belongs.

Partitioning affects user ability to do the following tasks:

• Create partitioned attributes.
• Change the layout and appearance of attributes for partitioned objects.
• Assign an object instance to a partition.
• Select a default partition.
• Switch partition views.
• See and personalize partitioned List Column and List Filter views.
• Create or see partitioned values for lookups.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Administration, and from Studio, click Partition Models.
2. Click the name of a partition model.
3. Click Partitions.

   The list of partitions appears.

   Note: Click the + icon next to a partition to see child partitions.

4. In the row that contains the partition you want, click the Properties icon.
5. To assign an individual user (resource), a group, or an OBS unit access to the partition, complete the following steps:
   1. Open the Partition Members menu and click one of the following menu options: Resources, Groups, or OBS Units.
   2. Click Add.
   3. Select the appropriate check boxes and click Add.

      If you have more selections than appear on a single selection page, use Add and Select More.

6. After you add all selections, click Return.

After you assign user access to partitions, the setup of partitions is complete.
