Specify permissions for features and user interface elements in XProtect Incident Manager

You can specify the permissions for incident-related features and user interface elements that:

  • Operator roles are allowed to view and manage in XProtect Smart Client

  • Administrator roles are allowed to view and define in XProtect Management Client.

You can decide to give:

  • No permissions

  • Permissions only to view

  • Permissions to manage

To allow users to view and access user interface elements, you must give the users permission to view them.

When you give users permission to manage a feature, you allow them to view, create, edit, and delete settings and properties related to that feature. The view permission allows the users only to view the settings and properties related to the feature but not to create, edit, or delete them.

Users assigned to the Administrators role always have all permissions for all incident-related features and user interface in both Management Client and XProtect Smart Client.

To specify permissions in Management Client:

  1. Select Site Navigation > Security > Roles.

  2. Select the Incidents tab and expand the Incidents node in the Role Settings window.

  3. If you want to give a XProtect Smart Client operator role permissions to manage or view incident projects:

    1. Select an operator role or create one.

    2. Select Incident properties and give View permission so that the incident properties you define in Management Client are available for users with the operator role.

    3. If you want to give the operator role permissions for general features and user interface elements related to incident projects, select the Incident projects node, then select if the role should have permissions to manage or only view incidents projects.

    4. If you want to give permissions for some additional features and user interface elements, expand Incident projects, select a feature or user interface element, and give permission.

  4. If you want to give permissions to a Management Client administrator role:

    1. Select an administrator role or create one.

    2. Select Incident properties and select if the role should have permission either to manage or only view the incidents properties that administrators can define for the XProtect Smart Client operators.

If you want to give XProtect Smart Client operators permission to export sequences added to incident projects, you define this in a Smart Client profile.

See Change the default export settings.
