Permissions are always cumulative for the mapped security profiles as explained in the following statements and examples:
  • If a user is a member of more than one security group, the rights of each group is OR'ed together to determine the user's access rights.
    For example, if a user is a member of two groups and one of the groups has Write access for an object and the other Read access, the user will have Write access.
  • Object level permissions override group level permissions, which in turn override class level permissions.
Examples:
  • To expand any folder, for example to list the computers in a group, you must have Read rights for that folder.
  • To create an object, you must have the Create rights on the object.
    If the created object should be placed in a folder, you must also have Read and Write rights for the folder.
  • The Paste and Link operations require Write rights on the current folder or object (for example, when pasting files and folders).
  • The Move operation requires Write rights on two folders or objects, both the source and destination.
