The Access Manager window

The Access Manager window is a GUI that simplifies managing access rights for roles and users. The changes you make here are automatically saved in the accessright.xml file, so you do not have to edit the file directly.

The Access Manager window has several panes. As you select an action in the Actions pane, the Conditions pane updates. If you select a condition, the remaining panes update.
