User permissions can be granted at the application level (user and group) or at the project level. Permissions are granted in hierarchical manner and permissions granted at the application level will take precedence over all other permissions assigned at the project level. If restricted access to some projects is required, then permissions should be granted at the project level.
Assigning Application Wide Permissions
Application level permissions are granted at the user and group level. To assign users or groups application wide permissions, you will need to be an Enterprise Tester application administrator. Follow these steps to assign permissions:
- Navigate to the Admin page.
- Click on the arrow to expand either the 'Users' folder or the 'Groups' folder.
- Double click on the user or group you want to add permissions to.
- Click on the 'Permissions' tab.
- Here you can select to assign the permissions to grant the user or group. You can either select the whole group of permissions or select individual permissions within each group of permissions.
- Once complete, click on 'Save' to apply the permissions.
Assigning Project Only Permissions
To grant permissions to a group or user for a specific project only, you must first assign the user or group to the project and then assign the permissions you wish to grant. Note that if the user has been granted greater permissions at the application level then these will take precedence.

- Assign the user or group to the project. To do this, from the navigator click on the arrow beside the project. This will reveal the 'Users' and 'Groups' folder under the project. Then from the navigator, click to select the user or group to assign to the project and drag and drop the user or group to the respective User or Group folder under the project. Note for users only, when editing user accounts, you can assign the user to specific projects on the ' Assign Projects' tab.
- Double click to select the user or group. The permissions tab will appear under the project and assign the required permissions.
