Automated setting of permissions

Reusing permissions​

Netwrix Password Secure generally differentiates between multiple methods for setting permissions:

  1. Manual setting of permissions

  2. Inheritance of permissions within organisational structures

  3. Using predefined rights

    • In the manual setting of permissions, the desired permissions are directly configured for each record. Automatic processes and inheritance are not used in this case.
    • Both the use of predefined rights and also the inheritance from organisational structures are based on the automated reuse of already granted permissions according to previously defined rules.

The following diagram deals with the question: How do users or roles receive the intended permissions?

manual vs automated settings

NOTE: Inheritance from organisational structures is defined by default in the system. This can be configured in the settings. The relevant setting is “Inherit permissions for new objects (without permission template)”.
