adTempus supports security inheritance, meaning that each object can inherit permissions from its "parent." The model is similar to that of the Windows file system, where each file or folder inherits permissions from the folder above it. This inheritance makes it easy for you to manage security for large groups of users and objects.

Prior to adTempus version 3.0, security settings in adTempus were not inherited, meaning that each object's security had to be managed individually. If you have upgraded from a previous version, you may want to update your security settings as described in the Security Changes topic to simplify security administration. |
See the Security Editor topic for information on how to control which permissions get inherited.
At the top of the adTempus security hierarchy are the security settings configured through the Server Options. These permissions are inherited by all objects within adTempus. Below this, the inheritance hierarchy follows the hierarchy outlined by the nodes in the Console Tree. For example, the Jobs node (which represents the "root" job group) inherits from the server settings. Each Group and Job inherits permissions from the Group above it.
