How user permissions work

This topic includes a table describing all user permissions.

The following table shows the user permissions required to perform activities in Oracle Empirica Signal. You assign permissions to individual users, user roles, or user profiles.

A user can act on an object (for example, a data mining run) if:

The user created the object.
The object was published to the user's login group.
The object was created by a different user in the user's login group, and the user has the Administer User permission.
