Task 4: Review Security Levels

Horizon comes with a default security level for each role privilege. However, you may want to review the default levels and make changes if needed. The security level you assign to a privilege determines the roles to which it can be assigned. (For example, a security level of Staff means you can assign the privilege to roles with a security level of Staff or higher. For more information about security levels, see Security Levels.)

Raising a privilege’s security level may restrict it from roles to which it has already been assigned (if any). If so, Horizon removes the privilege from the role. However, be aware that Horizon does not warn you before removing the role.

To review security levels

1 Start the Privilege Manager process.

The default location of this process is the Administration\Security Menu folder on the navigation bar.

Horizon displays the List Privilege Manager window.

2 Review the security levels assigned to each privilege.
3 If you want to change the security level for a privilege, do these steps:
a Double-click the privilege.
b In the Security Level field, choose the level you want:
Sys Admin. Restricts the privilege from all roles. Only users with a security level of Sys Admin can access the privilege.
Local Admin. Restricts the privilege to roles with a security level of Local Admin or higher.
Supervisor. Restricts the privilege to roles with a security level of Supervisor or higher.
Staff. Restricts the privilege to roles with a security level of Staff or higher.
Guest. Makes the privilege available for all roles.
c Save your changes.
4 Repeat step 3 for each privilege whose security level you want to change.
