All objects in FCS Express may be assigned Authorizations, or rights, which allows or prevents layout users from placing objects in Select mode or Edit mode or both. Authorizations can be set to always allow, never allow, or always allow/do not allow based on the value of a token. For instance, a token value can be set to allow selection of a plot if the current FCS Express user equals a specific person or a plot can remain non-editable unless a particular statistic value is met, e.g., the number of events for a particular gate is higher than an arbitrary value. See the Working with Authorizations section in the manual for additional details on setting up these conditions.  

 

To access Authorizations using the ribbon:

1. Click on an object to select it.

2. Click Format tab→Object Options→Authorizations command.

 

The Formatting Authorizations dialog (Figure 5.286) will appear allowing actions to be formatted when allowed.

2. Choose Format.
