Hudu’s permission system is designed to provide both flexibility and precision, ensuring your data is secure while allowing the right users access to the tools and information they need. Here’s a quick overview of how it works and what you can achieve:
Security Groups for Granular Control
Security Groups are the cornerstone of Hudu’s permissions system. By assigning users to groups, you can:
Restrict access by company, record type, or specific records.
Protect sensitive assets, Knowledge Base articles, or passwords by limiting visibility to select groups.
Cumulative Permissions
Hudu’s system supports users being part of multiple groups. Permissions from all groups are combined, allowing you to:
Simplify management for users who need overlapping permissions across multiple areas.
Ensure no critical access is lost when assigning users to multiple roles.
Customizing Permissions at Record Level
For situations requiring more specific control, you can override group permissions for individual records. This allows:
Tailoring access to meet unique security needs.
Protecting highly sensitive records from being viewed by anyone outside a designated group.
