User vs Object Permissions

This page provides instructions for generating a “Users vs Object Permissions” audit report, enabling precise sorting of users and objects, managing report progress, and downloading the final report for in-depth permissions analysis.

This enhancement provides a user to generate reports more precisely when they want to sort their “User” and “Objects” from the interactive grids and to check the latest report status block and download the generated report.

The user can follow the instructions below on how to generate “Users vs Object permissions” audit report.

Instructions  Screenshot for reference
  1. Login to TeamConnect.
  2. Select the "Security Rights Audit" option from the "All" menu in the Top Navigation bar.
Select the "Security Rights Audit" option from the "All" menu
  1. Click on Users vs Object permissions hyperlink.

Note: Users can go back to the previous page incase if some groups are missed to select by using the Back button. Also, users can cancel anytime in this stage by clicking on the Cancel button.

Click on Users vs Object permissions hyperlink

Note: Time taken to generate the report depends upon the number of users selected.

  1. Click on the “Selected users” radio button. The interactive grid will be loaded and displayed once the user clicks on the “selection” radio button only.

Note: The user has to wait until the interactive grid loads with the data depending on the number of “Users” & “Objects”.

Important: Using the select all or deselect all buttons may have some lag time when selecting or deselecting all users as it depends on the number of users in the grid. A high number of users, for example, 5000 users could result in a 1-3 seconds delay in selecting all. These numbers are subjective to the configuration of the TeamConnect instance such as heap size + no. of concurrent users using the system, etc. For more information, please visit Application and Web Servers - Mitratech Success Center
