The Security Configuration dialog box is used to assign permissions to individual users or groups of users.
Complete the steps in this procedure to assign permissions for the Output Manager Console.
To configure security for the Output Manager Console, you
must be assigned the Allow user to Configure Console Security
permission or be added to the security during the Output Manager
installation. Users added to the security during installation are considered administrators
and are assigned all permissions by default.
Permissions authorize a user or group to perform actions within specified areas of Output Manager. Without the appropriate permissions, attempts to carry out those
actions are blocked.

From the Output Manager Console menu bar, select .
This opens the Security Configuration dialog
box.

From the Users and groups with permissions list box, select the appropriate user or group in the list.
The
Assigned permissions list box will display the assigned permissions for the selected user. If you want to
set permissions for a user or group that does not appear in the list, click
Add. From the
User and
Group Selection dialog box, select the users/groups you want to add and click
OK. If the
user/group is not listed, click

Output Manager users, LDAP users, or Windows users. You can also choose to
import LDAP users. See the
Adding users and groups to Output Manager
topic for detailed procedures on adding users. Once users are added, they are placed in the
Output Manager database, causing them to always be listed in the
future.

Application, Allow user to access the Sources Application, and Allow user to access
the Documents Application permissions. For information on assigning security for Destinations,
Sources, and Documents, see the appropriate help link.
