Rights tab

This screen lists the various rights associated with a role.

Unchecking a right, on the other hand, removes a right from all these same users.

You can search for a right by type, theme, function, right name and license type. Simply enter a character to display only the relevant items in the list.

The list on the left of the screen can be used to display :

  • All rights
  • Active rights
