User Manager System (UMS) Overview

The Role Master-Permission is a table (md_permission) in the User Management System (UMS). This table defines an approval to perform an operation on a resource based on the role.

  • Resources and Permissions are assigned to existing Roles. The Roles are then assigned to users.

  • This topic deals primarily with the Role Master-Permissions table but also touches on an alternate method of applying resources and permissions to a role using the Role Master view.

  • The two methods of maintaining resources and permissions assigned to Roles are through the Role Master-Permission table and through the Permission grid that is accessed through the Role Master table. Both methods have their own merits. The following table describes the differences between the two methods. You can click on the headings in the table below to go directly to the details on each method (or you can continue reading).
