Matrix-based security
In this scheme, you can configure who can do what by using a big table.
Each column represents a permission. Hover the mouse over the permission names to get more information about what they represent.
Each row represents a user or a group (often called ‘role’, depending on the security realm.) This includes a special user ‘anonymous’, which represents unauthenticated users, as well as ‘authenticated’, which represents all authenticated users (IOW, everyone except anonymous users.) Use the text box below the table to add new users/groups/roles to the table, and click the [x] icon to remove it from the table.
Permissions are additive. That is, if an user X is in group A, B, and C, then the permissions that this user actually has are the union of all permissions given to X, A, B, C, and anonymous.
Project-based Matrix Authorization Strategy
This mode is an extension to “Matrix-based security” that allows additional ACL matrix to be defined for each project separately (which is done on the job configuration screen.)
This allows you to say things like “Joe can access project A, B, and C but he can’t see D.” See the help of “Matrix-based security” for the concept of matrix-based security in general.
ACLs are additive, so the access rights granted below will be effective for all the projects.
