Permission Definitions and Settings

This section covers the Fast Platform software permissions.

What's included:

• How permissions work
• What permissions control; specific items
• Permissions by function, and consequences
• Permissions by alpha

The following maintenance descriptions highlight significant maintenance tasks and related rules. Since system functionality is always in the process of improvement, maintenance tasks may be changed.

Typical maintenance is performed using SQL server components. Management studio and SQL scripts are typically used to update maintenance. MS Access can also be used. The user performing maintenance must have the appropriate SQL syntax skills.

 

Permissions are listed in the FO_Permissions table and are assigned to groups maintained in the FO_PermGroups table. The permission group is then assigned to a specific user in the FO_Users table, in the FO_Users.PermGroup field, giving that user all permissions assigned to that FO_PermGroups.PermGroup.

The FAST Platform Rules engine contains both Maintenance driven rules and User level keyword (Permission) rules. The permission rules are listed in the FO_Permissions table and are attached to User groups maintained in the FO_PermGroups table.
