Controlling access to the server, server tasks and external data

The configurations discussed in this section refer to settings under the Global Permissions section of the Admin tab in the CLC Server web administrative interface (figure 5.5).

Figure 5.5: Global permissions.

Permissions can be set to restrict access to just the members of specified groups for the following areas:

You can specify which groups should have access to each of the above by opening the relevant section and then clicking the Edit Permissions button for each relevant element listed. A dialog appears like that in figure 5.6. If you choose Only authorized users from selected groups, you will be offered a list of groups that you can select (or de-select) to grant or restrict access to that functionality.

Note: Grid and cloud presets are identified by name. If you change the name of a preset under the Job Distribution settings section, then this, in effect, creates a new preset. In this situation, if you had access permissions previously set, you would need to reconfigure those settings for this, now new, preset.
