Field/Control

Description

Access to Explorer Folders

Access to <No Folder>

The <No Folder> folder can be opened. This enables access to restored or transported objects.

Access to recycle bin

The Recycle can be opened. This allows users to restore deleted objects. Restored objects are found in the <No Folder> folder.

Access to transport case

The Transport case can be opened. Users are enabled to view objects that should be transported to a different client or system in the Explorer window. Users can also delete objects that should be transported from the transport case.

Access to Version Management

The user group can access the Version Management folder and open (write-protected), restore and delete saved object versions. Execution data and reports are also available.

Administration

Change system status (STOP/GO)

Users can change the system's status and interrupt automatic processing.

Create diagnostic information

This privilege handles two rights:

  • It facilitates the setting of trace options.
  • It displays the quarantine area  in the System Overview.
Execute system upgrades Users can upgrade the system.
FileEvents: Start without Login object specified

Users may start FileSystem Events without entering specific user credentials.

Granting or refusing this privilege affects the execution of FileSystem Events, where the definition of a Login object is optional.

FileTransfer: Start without Login object specified

It is possible to process file transfers without using a Login object. The agent then uses the user who started it.

The administrator specifies in the variable UC_HOSTCHAR_DEFAULT, key ANONYMOUS_FT whether the agent is allowed to process file transfers without Login object.

ILM actions In the System Overview, a user can access theILM area and its corresponding settings.
Manage favorites on user group level

Displays the favorites of all the client's user groups.

The Explorer includes a specific Favorites folder to which objects can be added by using the drag and drop function. The objects are not actually moved to the folder but a reference is created to them (similar to the Transport Case).
User groups are displayed as folders in the Favorites folder.

Without this privilege, users can only view the user groups of which they are a member in the Favorites folder.

The Favorites functionality affects the Prucacv*.htm file of the product AWI (Automic Web Interface) and in particular, the Process Automation plug-in.

SAP Criteria Manager

This privilege can be used to grant access to the SAP Criteria Manager via the Form page of SAP jobs.
