Removing Access Grants

You can also restrict the ability to modify configuration entities by removing the user from any security group that grants that access.

Use the Access Grants tabs in the User window to see all security groups where specific access grants are included. You can do one of the following:

  • Remove the user from the security group (using the Security Group tab in the User window).

  • Remove the access grants from the security group (in the Security Group window).

    Note: Do this only if no one in that security group needs what this access grant provides.

Table 10-1. Access grants for editing configuration entities lists the access grants that provide users with edit access to various PPM configuration entities.
