Logon with two IDs...How does it know which to use?

[system]

Please, take a look at this entry in FAQ Supervisor.

Or this post from Dave Rathbun:

@Dave Rathbun

Configuration options are granted on a “most restricted” level, while resources (Universes) are granted on a “least restricted” level. That is currently the way the product works.

When you log in, you are not logging in to a particular group. You are logging in to every group that you are a member of at the same time. Universes that are granted to one group are automatically available because of the “least restricted”. In other words, if you have a universe anywhere you have it everywhere.

Command options, like Create Document, are granted on a “most restricted” level. In other words, unless you have the command everywhere, you will not have it at all.

There is currently no feature in the product to allow different command options on different universes. The work-around is to set up different user ID’s, one that logs into a single group with “Create Document” enabled, and another that logs into a different group where “Create Document” might be disabled.

Moved to Supervisor forum.
