Issue

• Create permissions to allow users to view, use and edit objects, tasks and licenses in ESET Security Management Center. Permissions are an important part of Access Rights in ESET Security Management Center.
   
• In this example, we will create a permission set for a small office scenario to allow all users to access all tasks and objects except for server settings. You can customize this example to create more specific permission sets according to your needs.

1. In this example, click Grant All Functionality Full Access. Deselect the check boxes next to tasks and objects for which you do not want to allow permissions. In this example, Server Settings are not allowed.
   
   Allowing full permissions for all tasks and objects except for server settings will allow all users to perform all necessary actions without the risk of accidental changes to core system settings.
   
   You can create more restrictive permissions sets and apply them to specific groups to customize the permissions tructure to your company environment.

1. The User Groups and Users sections can be used to apply permissions to specific user groups or individual users. Skip these sections if you are not creating permissions sets customized by user.
    
2. Click Finish to save your changes.
