Every action in FCS Express has a corresponding Permission. Security Groups contain lists of Permissions that are allowed to be performed. The Permissions are grouped in logical categories, as shown in Figure 32.12.

 

 

 

You can choose to include all checked permissions, or, if you only want to exclude a few permissions, include all permissions except those checked in the list. Once a Security Group is created, it can be assigned to a user. The user will then only be allowed to perform the actions for which they have permission.

 

FCS Express comes with the Administrator group, which permits all actions, and cannot be deleted.

 

The following example illustrates how permissions behave when a user logs in:

 

A user is assigned to a Group which can perform all actions, except for printing a layout. The user logs in to FCS Express. They are able to load a layout, and make changes to it. However, when the user attempts to print the layout, they will see the message shown in Figure 32.13. This notifies the user that they are unable to perform the action.
