Resource Security
Resource information can have various layers of security applied to it. Depending on the access grants a user has, that user can view his own resource information, view information on other resources, edit information for resources he manages, or edit all resources in the system. These access grants are also needed to use the Analyze Assignment Load visualizations. Table 3-2. Resource information access grants describes these access grants in more detail.
