Assigning User Permissions

If you have an administrator account, you have unlimited permissions and can assign and change permissions for normal user accounts. When a normal user account is assigned permissions to a functionality, that user has permissions for that specific functionality in his home folder and any associated sub-folders. A user must have permissions for a folder in order to view or edit the profiles, devices, or groups associated with the folder. A user assigned to a folder who has read/write permissions for profiles can exclude an inherited profile but will not be able to modify it.

Permissions can be assigned when a user is created, or from a specific folder, profile, or mobile device group. This section describes the permissions available from the System Users page. For information on giving permissions to a user for a specific folder, profile, or mobile device group, see Assigning Authorized Users.
