Assigning Permissions to Users or Groups

Permissions control user access to specific types of UDMG records, such as server or partner, and the types of functions that can be performed for those record types, such as Create or Delete.

You can further narrow down which records each permission permissions are applied to each record with the creation of a Business Services Service and/or User Group that grant permission . The User Group grants permissions to the object in the Business Service. – this sentence is confusing - You can further narrow down which records get permissions with the creation of BS/G or you can further narrow down which permissions are assigned to each record with the creation... 

Note

The user permissions have higher the highest priority. For instance, if a user has Server Write permissions, then the user can always update any server without considering any Business Service or User Group permission.

This is to avoid a user lockout situation. If a user is locked out because of complex group permission records, the user can be unlocked by granting the relevant user permission.

Open a User or Group record.
