User Permissions

Set who is allowed to add or edit equipment in MaintainIt.

Control Feature Access

System Administrators can determine who is allowed to add or edit equipment assets within MaintainIt. Access to these features is controlled by Archibus Security Groups. Security Groups are typically managed at the role level, but can be applied directly to individual users as well.

The ability to add and edit equipment are controlled by separate security groups. By default, those groups are EQ-ADD and EQ-EDIT respectively. There are settings to change which security group to use for controlling add and edit permissions. Those settings are MaintainIt_EquipmentAddSecurityGroup and MaintainIt_EquipmentEditSecurityGroup. See the Settings section for more information on how to change those.

If a user does not have the edit Security Group, they can search and view equipment records in read-only format. Users without the add Security Group will not see the + button to add new equipment records.

Assigning Security Groups

Security Groups are typically assigned at the role level. To do that, navigate to System > Archibus Administrator - User and Security > Assign Security Groups to Roles. See also: Archibus Help Article

Security Groups can be assigned directly to users via one of the 10 Security Group fields in the user record. This typically requires using Archibus Smart Client application to directly edit the User (afm_users table) record.
