This section provides information related to user authorization in PPM.

In this topic:

Authorization Administration

User access to PPM resources is authorized based on the user’s role and security group membership. See Get started with the PPM Security Model.

A user must be granted either a System Level License to configure or maintain PPM or an Application License to perform daily task.

The single user assigned to multiple groups receives the highest permissions. Check the permissions across all groups.

It is recommended to use minimal permissions when creating new groups. Make sure to select appropriate role for the group. It is always recommended to grant minimal permissions and extend the permissions only as needed to avoid unwanted privilege escalation.
