Permissions

The Permissions panel allows you to check effective permissions for users and list group memberships.

Show or Activate the Permissions Pane

In The Royal Server Configuration Tool Navigation Bar, click on the General group and then on the Permissions entry.

The following groups are used to grant access to Royal Server:

• "Royal Server Users": Users that want to use Royal Server Management modules (e.g. Windows Events, Hyper-V etc) and the Document Store need to be in this group - either directly or via containing groups.
• "Royal Server Gateway Users": Users that want to use the Secure Gateway component need to be a member of this group - either directly or via containing groups.
• "Royal Server Administrators": Users that want to administer Royal Server need to be a member of this group - either directly or via containing groups.

Note

The previously mentioned groups are generated on startup by Royal Server by default.

• Documents: the read and modify rights for this user for each Document hosted by Royal Server.

Note

Authorization group memberships are cached. Click on Refresh without using the cache to list group memberships bypassing the cache.

Note

The read and modify access rules for Documents hosted by Royal Server can be configured here.
