Effective Permissions - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User's Manual & Technical Reference

Determining effective permissions
A user is assigned effective permissions to an object through by direct permissions or inherited
permissions.
A user has direct permissions to an object if they are listed on the Permissions page of the object, if they
are equivalent to a user who has direct permissions to the object or if they are a member of a group that
is listed on the Permissions page of that object.
A user has inherited permissions to an object if they do not have direct permission when they have
effective permissions to the container that contains the object. If you do not have direct permissions to an
object, you must have effective permissions to the container in which the object is stored.
NOTE:
Your effective permissions to a container object can be either direct or inherited. All that matters is that
you have effective permissions to the container.
When determining a user's effective permissions to an object, Data Protector Express checks if the user
has direct permission; if not, Data Protector Express checks if they have inherited permission.
For example, if a user has the Read direct permission, but the group has the Access permission, the user's
effective permission is Access.
Examples of determining effective permissions
The following two examples illustrate how Data Protector Express determines the effective permissions a
user has to an object.
Example 4. Effective permissions
