About access permissions
Each item in the Quick2Config database has a set of access permissions
associated with it. Access permissions are based on the assignment of two
characteristics: access group and privilege. The access groups, which establish
groupings of users, are owner, group, and everyone. By default, the owner of an
item is the user who adds the item to the hierarchy. The group for an item is the
user group (or groups) that have been given access to the item. The owner of the
item grants access to user groups. Everyone includes the entire set of
Quick2Config users.
The access privileges, which establish the actions a user can perform on an item,
are read and write. The read privilege grants permission to look at the
configuration of a database item (for example, it allows a user to see an item in the
hierarchy and view its properties on the Properties pane), but not to change the
item’s configuration. The write privilege grants permission to change an item’s
configuration, to export an item’s configuration data, and to delete an item.
