Is there an easy way to consistently copy privileges from one group, and apply those privileges to another group of users?
Yes there is a way to do this. Create a Security Role. For information on Security Filters, refer to the Systems Administration guide. Within a Security Role, you specify which ACLs and privileges to grant. Then, you can assign this newly created Security Role to multiple groups (and/or individual users).
Or just make sure that the Everyone group has appropriate privileges (if this is applicable / appropriate for your environment)
How can I track down the group that a particular user is inheriting a particular privileges from?
There is a hard way and there is an easier way. The hard / tedious way:
- Right click on the user and select Edit
- Click on Groups
- Drill down on all the groups to determine the groups that this user belong to.
- Note down the list of groups that this user belong to
- Close the current window, and back to the main window, examine the privilege for each group
The easier way is to use Command Manager and execute the following command:
LIST ALL PRIVILEGES FOR USER "test";
