1.4. RegistryĀ 

By default, the registry is empty.

Consists of columns:

  • Grantor ā€” the name of the User or Role with which the new entry/object was created. Depending on the icon, you can determine whether it is a Role or a User: ā€” the Role, ā€” the User;
  • Grantee ā€” the name of the Role, or User, that is assigned to the new entry/object in the Permissions tab if this entry was created by the user, or the role, specified in the GrantorĀ column;Ā 
  • Read ā€” this column assigns permission to read (the ability to view) entries/objects in a particular section for the Grantee;
  • this column assigns permission to read entries in a particular section for the Grantee;
  • Edit ā€” this column assigns permission to edit entries in a particular section for the Grantee;
  • Delete ā€” this column assigns permission to delete entries in a particular section for the Grantee.

There are three choices in the columns:

  • Allow ā€” allows the operation specified in the column heading;
  • Allow with delegation ā€” allows an operation and can assign that operation to another User or Role;
  • Forbidden ā€” forbidden the operation specified in the column heading.

1.5. Pagination

It consists of the RowsĀ per page field, which indicates the number of entries (it is possible to set from 1 to 1000) per page, and forward and backward buttons for switching pages.
