Auditing Permissions

Visual Guard offers various ways of granting permissions to users:

• You can grant permissions via multiple levels of permission sets and roles.
• You can grant permissions directly to a user, his group, or a parent of his group.
• You can manage very large volumes of users and permissions.

As a result, it may be complex to keep track of user permissions.

Therefore, VG 2018 introduces new features to:

• View all the permission granted to a certain user.
• List all the permissions granted to a given group, role or permission set.
• Find the origin of a given permission (how it was granted).
  For instance: Permission A > Permission set B > Role C > Group D > User E

Listing the permissions of a particular entity

Get a complete list of permissions for a given user, group, role or permission set:

• Open the details page of an entity, for instance the details of a user.
• Open the tab "Permissions".

You can also list permissions from a list of a entity, for example:

• Select the item ‘Users’ in the Treeview of the winConsole
• For a given user, click on this button:
• A window opens, showing the permissions of this user.
