This topic describes the process in which the Domain Administrator grants access rights for selected items/activities to a specific group. Unit access rights are granted per unit and if you are logged to one unit, the access rights of any unit other than the one you are currently logged to (accessed unit) are limited to View Only or Access Denied. This regards the accessed unit's Process Data, Specifications, and Calculation documents. If the accessed unit's documents access rights were defined as either Full, Modify, or View Only your access will be limited to View Only. When the accessed unit's documents access rights were defined as Access Denied your access rights will also be defined as Access Denied. To change the status of the accessed unit rights, log to the accessed unit to change its access rights as required.

Certain items or activities at the domain level relate to Domain Administration. The access rights mode for these items is set for all users to Access Denied by default. The Domain Administrator always has full access rights to these items, regardless
of the access rights mode set for them in the group to which the Domain Administrator
belongs.
