Default Permissions

Maintaining access control in JPAC can be complex, and trying to do it all manually would not be recommended.  Default Permissions are one of the tools available to ease the burden and mitigate errors, particularly forgetting to set permissions.

Default Permissions are applied automatically when a new Org Unit, Role, Employment Type, Tag, Category or Requirement Type is created. They provide a predefined set of permissions that members of a group have to the resource. In this way, the permissions you would always want to apply to a resource are done for you.

Default Permissions are maintained against a Group.

Setting or removing a default permission:

First, navigate to the list of groups to select the particular group you want to add this permission to.

Then you can select the default permission tab in the extended information section.

From here, you can add default permissions or use the bin icon to remove default permissions from this group. Currently, adding and removing default permission will only affect future resources, so if you want to change permissions on existing resources you'll need to do that for each individual org unit/role/category/tag/etc.
