User group modules and permissions
Last modified:
Module permissions are the rights to View, Create, Delete, or Change certain parts and functionalities of the portal. Members of a user group can be allowed or denied permissions for multiple modules.
User group modules do not necessarily reflect license-based VCOM modules, such as the KPI editor or Automation, because restrictions for these modules may be handled only with the administration access rights, as functionalities appear only on administration pages.
