Object access

In this tab, it is possible to restrict user’s access rights to various objects in the system.

In order to get access to a link between two objects a user needs to have access to both objects.

This tab is available for users with the permission for manage users.

When viewing their own account, this tab is unavailable for the user.

If a user belongs to a group or several groups, then all accessible objects are summed:
