On the right side of the Permission Setup screen there are two tabs. Each contains grids that enable users to view all of Lucity's available permissions and assign them to the Group(s) selected on the left side of the screen.
Modules View
Modules View lets administrators establish permissions by module. When the admin checks one or more modules in the Modules grid, the related permissions appear in the adjoining Permissions grid. Then, he or she can select the desired Permissions and apply the changes to the selected Group(s) using the Grant, Remove, or Deny buttons.
Note: The selected permissions changes are applied to all modules checked in the Modules grid.
Modules grid
Lists modules, components, and programs within the Lucity system. Check a module in this grid to see related permissions in the Permissions grid.
Permissions grid
Lists permissions available for the module(s) selected in the Modules grid, which can be granted to, removed from, or denied from the selected group(s). The permissions displayed here are controlled by the module(s) checked in the Modules grid and the display option chosen at the bottom of the screen.
The Groups tab allows administrators to select groups and apply permissions to them while providing information about their current permissions.
Groups tab
Groups grid

Users In Group(s) grid *
Identifies the users in the selected Group(s).
Assigned Permissions *
Displays the permissions assigned to the selected Group(s). Permissions are not displayed if more than one Group is selected.
Three buttons used to apply or remove permissions are located in the center of the screen.
Permission Control buttons
<< Grant
Grants the Permissions selected on the right to the Group(s) selected on the left.
<< Remove
Removes a Grant or Deny already applied to the selected Permission from the selected Group(s).
<< Deny
Denies the Permissions selected on the right to the Group(s) selected on the left.
Older versions of Lucity (pre 2016) include a Users tab that enables administrators to assign permissions to an individual user. This function was removed in because checking individual permissions significantly slows down the system. As a result, Lucity Web no longer takes into account individual permissions.
The Users tab appears only if there are still individual permissions assigned. Lucity administrators should create groups based on access needs and assign users to those groups. They should then remove any individual permissions a user might have.
Permissions applying to one or more of the selected modules
If more than one module is selected in the Modules grid, and this option is marked, the Permissions grid displays all permissions related to all selected modules. This is true even if a permission applies only to one of the modules.
Permissions applying to all selected modules
If more than one module is selected in the Modules grid, and this option is marked, the Permissions grid displays only permissions that apply to all selected modules. Permissions that do not apply to all selected modules are hidden.
Permissions View
Permissions View allows users to view modules related to a particular permission. When an admin selects a permission in the Permissions grid, modules that offer that permission are displayed in the adjoining Modules grid. Then, he or she can select the desired Modules and Grant, Remove, or Deny those permissions to the selected Group(s).
Note: The permissions changes for the selected Modules are applied to all selected Groups.
Permissions grid
Lists all permissions available within the Lucity system. Check a permission in this grid to see all modules that implement that permission in the Modules grid.
Modules grid
Lists modules that use the permission(s) selected in the Permissions grid. Permissions can be granted to, removed from, or denied from the selected group(s). The modules displayed here are controlled by the permission(s) checked in the Permissions grid and the display option chosen at the bottom of the screen.
The Groups tab allows administrators to select groups and apply permissions to them while providing information about their current permissions.

Modules with one or more of the selected permissions

Modules with al of the selected permissions
If more than one permission is selected in the Permissions grid, and this option is marked, the Modules grid displays only modules that use allselected permissions. Modules that do not use all selected permissions are hidden.
