Group
To more easily facilitate the control of user privileges, users may be placed into groups with the privileges assigned to the groups rather than to each individual user.
A user has access to all the privileges granted to any group of which the user is a member, plus any privileges that are specifically granted to the user account. Privileges are inclusive. If a user is to be denied a privilege, that user must be removed from all groups that have that privilege (or the privilege removed from the groups) and the privilege must also be removed from the user’s personal privileges.
Logon Hours
NLS 5.29 and later
This command in the ribbon bar displays a 24 hours by 7 days matrix showing the hours in a week that users belonging to the group is or is not allowed to log into NLS.
To change the permission for a specific hour, click the Logon Permitted or Logon Denied button then click on the corresponding block in the matrix. Click and drag the cursor to select multiple blocks.
Privileges
Privileges may be assigned to whole groups as well as to individual users. To modify the privileges for a group, select Group from the shortcut bar. Then, select the actual group that you wish to modify from the tree, and select the Privileges tab at the bottom of the Security View.
The procedures for granting and denying privileges to the group are identical to the procedures for individual users.
