Users are granted access to parts of the VCL web site and to resources through the Privilege tree. User permissions and resource attributes can both be cascaded down from one node to all of its children. Additionally, cascaded user permissions and resource attributes can be blocked at a node so that they do not cascade down to that node or any of its children.

User Permissions

There are nine user permissions that can be granted to users. They can be granted to users directly or to user groups.

• computerAdmin - allows users to do administrative tasks with computers in computer groups with administer or manageGroup granted at the same node
• groupAdmin - grants users access to the Manage Groups portion of the site
• imageAdmin - allows users to do administrative tasks with images in image groups with administer or manageGroup granted at the same node
• imageCheckOut - allows users to make reservations for images in image groups with available granted at the same node
• mgmtNodeAdmin - allows users to do administrative tasks with management nodes in management node groups with administer or manageGroup granted at the same node
• nodeAdmin - allows users to add and delete child nodes at the specified node

• scheduleAdmin - allows users to do administrative tasks with schedules in schedule groups with administer or manageGroup granted at the same node
