Editing Individual User Rights

Fine-tuning Rights for Specific Users in DriverHub

In DriverHub, the best way to handle administrative access is to start by assigning rights to groups, not individuals. This approach makes it much easier to manage who can do what. By creating groups and giving them the right permissions, managing access becomes a much smoother process for administrators.

It's important to stick to this group-first strategy for setting up access permissions, turning to individual adjustments only when there's a specific need. You may find instances where you may need to revoke or grant a specific right, but this only should be done on a case-by-case basis. Remember, these individual changes are just to fine-tune the access already set up through groups, not the main way of managing permissions.

Begin by clicking the profile menu button, then navigate to Configure > Rights. 

This action will prompt a dialog box to appear, presenting two distinct columns for configuration:

1. Revoked/Available Rights (Left Side): This column displays the rights currently available for assignment to the user, offering a clear view of the permissions that can be granted.

2. Granted/Group Rights (Right Side): Here, you'll see the rights that the user presently possesses, providing an overview of their current access level.

Upon opening the Rights dialog box for the first time, a helpful tutorial will guide you through the process of using this tool effectively.

Granting a Right: To grant a right to a user, click the '+' symbol adjacent to the desired right in the Revoked/Available Rights column. The right will then transition to the Granted/Group Rights column and will be highlighted in yellow, signaling that it has been individually granted.

Revoking a Right: To revoke a right from a user, click the '×' button for rights granted to a group, or the '−' button for rights granted individually. Clicking the '×' will move the right back to the Revoked/Available Rights column and mark it in red. However, utilizing the '−' button shifts the right back without the red highlight, suggesting a return to the standard group settings without special individual assignment.
