Global Permissions
Global Permissions define the authority a group (and its users) has for the various objects within FlexDeploy. The FlexDeploy Administrator has all privileges across the FlexDeploy system. To designate the group as a FlexDeploy Administrator, select the FlexDeploy Administrator checkbox. Additionally, few permissions are only available to FlexDeploy Administrator users, like setting up Security details (users, groups, realms etc.).
For each FlexDeploy object, select the necessary checkboxes indicating which permissions should be granted to the group. The table below provides a description for the various permission types. Note that each FlexDeploy object may only have subset of these permissions.
