Working with Manager Permissions

Manager Permissions control user access to the Managers in your TLC environment. You can configure the Manager Permissions for all User Accounts and Groups in:

The Permissions tab of the Manager properties dialog (see Working with Managers), and

The Manager Permissions dialog in the Administration Manager (see Figure 47).

These UI components are identical, and you can perform the same functions in both.

To configure the user permissions for a Manager in the Administration Manager:

1. In the side bar, select Resources >Administration ManagerAdministration Manager.
2. In the side bar of the Administration Manager, expand the PermissionsPermissions.
3. Under Permissions, expand the Managers group. This group contains each Manager in your TLC environment.
4. Select a Manager.
5. In the workspace, TLC presents a list of the User Accounts and Groups with permissions for the Manager. Table 59 defines each Manager Permission.
