Concept
Software Permissions
Software permissions are used to manage privileges that user account groups and user accounts own to objects in Building Operation software. In the EcoStruxure Building Operation software, you can assign two types of software permissions to user account groups and user accounts: path permissions and command permissions. You can also assign extended permissions to all the instances of folder structure or of a custom type.
Path permissions are used to give a user account group or a user account access to the objects defined in the path. Path permissions can also be set on specific properties. The permissions configured on a path apply to all path sub-levels unless you configure new permissions for the path sub-level.
For more information, see Path Permissions .
Command permissions grant a specific set of permissions to a user account or a user account group to commands in the EcoStruxure Building Operation database. You use command permissions to configure exceptions from path permissions.
For more information, see Command Permissions .
Extended Permissions are used to manage privileges of a user account group or a user account with respect to the instances of a folder structure or to the instances of custom type.
There are two types of extended software permissions:
Relative path permissions. For more information, see Relative Path Permissions .
Type permissions. For more information, see Type Permissions .
Relative path permissions for a folder structure grant a specific set of permissions to a user account group or to a user account to all the folders accessible in a predefined path and its folder structure. Relative path permissions enable a user accounts group or a user account to reuse a specific path permission.
For more information, see Relative Path Permissions .
Extended permissions for a type enable you to provide additional permissions for a particular user or groups of users by granting a specific set of permissions to a user accounts group or to a user account to all instances of this type. The purpose of extended type permissions is to increase the permissions for a specific type. There are two types of type permissions. Custom type permissions grant permissions for types created by the users. In-build type permissions grant permissions for types provided by default with the system.
For more information, see Type Permissions .
Software permissions can be combined between them.
