To manage objects of the Tillypad XL system (e.g. devices, reports, etc.), you need to set up special rules that determine who can manage these objects and which operations can be performed on them.

To separate the objects for which you need to set up special rules, you can assign them security levels. A security level can be assigned directly to an object or group of objects or inherited from the security level of another group or object.

After you install Tillypad XL Manager, you will see two security levels created by the developer: Security level for DB administrator and Tillypad reports. These security levels are used in the initial system access settings.

The system settings define the security level inherited by default by all groups of objects and objects that do not belong to any group. Objects that belong to a group inherit the security level from said group.

The security level can be directly assigned to the object itself, e.g. a device, or to a group of objects, e.g. a stock item group. The security level assigned to a group of objects is inherited by all objects of the group unless these objects have their own security level.

Security levels are included in the access settings. The security level determines which objects are regulated by this access setting.

The user can define the list of required security levels.

To manage security levels and access settings, use the Security levels directory.
