Securely modify rights users have to objects

Hello

In CMC -> Applications -> Infoview I have a user set to -

Log on to InfoView and view this object in the CMC - Granted
Edit this object - NotSpecified
Modify the rights users have to this object - NotSpecified
Securely modify rights users have to objects - Granted

I understood that this would allow my user to log into CMC and give other users rights to Infoview up to and including the granted rights that they themselves have.

Is this understanding correct as it isn’t working that way for me?

Thankyou

Jane

Jane,

Here is the way I understand it.

Modify the rights users have to objects:
Allows users to modify any right, for any user on the object

Modify the rights users have to objects that the user owns:
Allows users to modify any right, for any object they own.

Securely modify rights users have to objects:
Allows users to grant or deny for other users only those rights that they
themselves have been granted on the object.

Securely modify rights users have to objects that the user owns:
Allows users to grant or deny for other users in the group object only those rights that they themselves have been granted for they own.

Of course the user granting the rights needs to have the proper rights for the group/user they are granting the rights for as well.

Wouldn’t one also need access to CMC to be able to modify the rights a user has on an object? I don’t remember seeing something thal allows modification of rights through InfoView.

Hello

You’re right. The user also needs the right in CMC -> Applictaions -> CMC -> Log on to the CMC and view this object in the CMC

My user has this right so based on the above (and the rightsd listed at top of thread) he should be able to log into the CMC and change the Infoview applictaion rights of any user\group up to and including the rights he himself has on Infoview.

Is that not how it works?

Thankyou

Jane
