The Security permission defines whether the user or User Group can access and alter the security settings of the selected item. The Security permission is used in conjunction with the Configure permission. When working with user accounts, User Groups, and Groups that contain user accounts and User Groups, the following rules apply:
- To configure, delete, rename, modify, or convert a User Group or user account, you need to have the Configure and Security permissions for that User Group or user account.
- To create, copy, or import a User Group or user account, you need to have the Configure and Security permissions for the Group or system that is to contain the new User Group or account.
- To move a User Group or user account, you need to have the Configure and Security permissions for both the User Group or user account and the target Group or system (the Group or system to where the Group is being moved).
NOTE: These rules also apply to Groups that contain user accounts and User Groups.
Availability: Is available to any User or User Group with the Security permission for the selected item. The Security permission cannot be restricted (you can only stop Users and User Groups from having access to the security settings by denying them the Security permission for database items on a per item basis).
