Collection/Network Security

Project Security Settings

See Manage Project Security to understand how security is managed for projects, collections and networks under the default Sintelix Security Model.

Access by User Name or Group

Access to Projects, Collections and Networks can be assigned to individual users or to Security Groups. When access is assigned to a Security Group, a user has access when they are a member of that group.

Administrator's need to assign users to Security Groups. See HelpManage User Accounts.

Collection/Network Security Settings

Security can be applied to collections and networks to enable users to access (open) the Collection/Network.
