Permissions Inspector

The permissions inspector enables you to easily and safely look up effective permissions for any user or group.

To launch the inspector, click permissions inspector

(in the toolbar at the right of the table).

The inspector offers the following features:

The inspector shows the effective permissions that a selected identity has for the specified object. Permissions information is displayed after you look up and select an identity.
The contents are also updated when you look up and select a different identity (in the text box within the inspector).
The inspector uses the same icons and indicators that are used on the AuthorizationBasic tab.
You can view origins information by clicking the grant or deny icon.

Here are some tips for using the inspector:

The inspector is always read-only. To set permissions, open the target object and use its authorization tabs.
To select an identity, enter a user or group name in the text box. The search is against display name (or, for an identity that does not have a display name, name). The search uses the "contains" criteria — so that you can provide any part of the name.
Conditional grants are indicated in the inspector, but you cannot access the associated permission conditions from the inspector. Use the AuthorizationBasic tab to view or update a permission condition. Permission conditions can be applied to both LASR tables and secured tables.
One inspector window can be open for each object.
The inspector does not reflect unsaved changes.
