  • User management Users - edit

  • Possibly also:

    • User management Business roles - edit

    • User management Asset roles - edit

Steps

  1. Go to Administration> User Rights > Users.

  2. In the Users table, select a user or user group, then click the three dots () and from the dropdown, choose either:

    • Global Permissions – to assign traditional global roles and permissions. See the Assigning Global Permissions section below.

    • Permission Management – to grant fine-grained access to individual objects under specific assets (partitions, integrations, workflows, schedulers,…). See the Assigning Assets section below.

Assigning Global Permissions

To assign account permissions, you have two options:

  • On the Global Permissions tab, click the checkboxes to set permissions for individual objects/actions of that asset, click Save to confirm.

Assigning Assets

Displays the user-specific Asset Management view with tabs for each asset category – Accounts, Asset Groups, Global Asset Groups (for power users only). For details see Global Asset Class (PFX Only)..

Use the Asset Groups tab to create and reuse collections of related assets for bulk permission assignments. For details on asset groups see How to Create Asset Group.

To assign permissions:

  1. Hover over the desired row and click the menu.

  2. Choose one of:

    • Account Permissions – open the permission selection panel for this asset. After selecting permissions, click Save if applicable.
      info If the permission is enabled but grayed out it means it was set elsewhere (in a specific account, asset group or business role) and can be edited only there. Some permissions are marked with "?" meaning that their assignment goes through an approval.

    • Asset Permissions (Accounts tab only) – display and manage assets for the selected account. After selecting permissions, click Save if applicable.

info Tip: You can use the checkboxes and the Set Permissions button below the table to assign or revoke permissions for multiple assets in one go.

Exporting User Access Data

At the top right of the Users table, you’ll find two buttons dedicated to export options:

  • Export Access Report: Exports a detailed CSV report for selected users. Includes account, asset, and sub-asset permissions, roles, and access context.

⚠️ Requires account.user_mgmt permission.

  • Export CSV: Exports a flat list of users with metadata like name, email, status, title, creator, and last login timestamp. Does not include permission details.

Use Export Access Report for auditing access and Export CSV for reporting and general user overview.
