When assigning data permissions, you can assign permissions for individual Security Users or for entire Security Groups.
- When you assign data permissions at the Security Group level, all members of that Security Group will have those permissions.
- When you assign data permissions at the Security User level, only that specific Security User will have those permissions.
Assigning permissions at the Security Group level can be more efficient because the permissions assigned to a Security Group will be inherited by every member of that group. Assigning permissions at the Security User level, however, gives you more flexibility in customizing permissions for individual Security Users.
Some data permissions are configured for the baseline Security Groups to provide access to the baseline GE Digital APM families. Others permissions will need to be configured manually before users will be able to access certain features in GE Digital APM. In addition, you will need to configure permissions manually for families that you create.
