In the System permissions tab, individual users or user groups can be assigned the permission to manage systems connected to ibaManagementStudio.

The connected systems are displayed in an overview. You can enable the permission to edit the systems for groups or individual users.

<None>	The user or group does not have permission to view or edit the corresponding system.
<View>	The user or group has permission to view the corresponding system under Systems.
<Edit>	The user or group has permission to view the corresponding system under Systems and edit it in Settings. The user also needs permission to manage systems (Manage Settings) under User permissions or Group permissions.

In the case of system permissions, the respective access restrictions take precedence over the user's access rights. If a user is a member of a group, it is subject to the group's access restrictions in each case. If a user belongs to multiple user groups, the sum of all access restrictions applies. If a user has more permissions than the user group, the group's access restrictions also restrict the user permissions. This means you cannot give additional permissions to a user unless the group has the same permissions. You can only remove permissions from the user. The following table illustrates this subtractive permission assignment.

X = permission assigned, N = nothing selected

If a user has access rights to a folder but not to the systems within it, that folder is not listed under Systems. If a user has access rights to a system but not to the folder it is in, only the system is listed under Systems.
