Additional Permissions for New Users
Additional Permissions for New Users is a global server configuration property that defines a list of additional records that will be added to the permission table for newly created Iotellect Server users.
It is used to build a permissions table when a new user account is created. The table has two fields:
Context mask, specifying the range of contexts where the record applies
Permission level of the user in every such context
Context masks may contain a special % character. It will be replaced by the new user's username during account creation.
 | Example: If a context mask field of the additional permissions table contains users.%.alerts and the new user's name is john, his permissions table will contain a record for users.john.alerts. |
Additional Permissions is very similar to the Default User Permissions table. The difference is that Default User Permissions help to quickly set up permissions of new users just by clicking on several check boxes while Additional Permissions provide a more fine-grained control based on the direct specification of user permission table records.
 | Additional permissions table has higher priority than Default User Permissions. Records from additional permissions table are added into permissions table of a new user before records that are specified by Default User Permissions. |
