One user can have access rights to other users, and then edit their properties, define rights, etc. In this way, for instance, a service manager sets the rights to the clients of the service.
Standard rights
Some standard access rights are applicable to users.
View item and its basic properties
The user appears in various panels and lists. The General tab with all its contents and the Advanced tab (access to email) are available in the dialog of user properties. Username is displayed in different reports and in the Creator field.
Manage access to this item
The user appears on the Access tab in the properties dialogs of other users. Here there is a list of access rights which can be given to other users toward this one as a system object.
Edit not mentioned properties
Allows to edit the user properties on the Advanced tab, change individual user settings as well as send messages to this user from the management system.
Query reports or messages
Enables the Logs tab in the user properties dialog, which displays user activity (entries to/exits from various system services). This checkbox also gives permission to generate user reports. It should be noted that to execute the Custom fields report, one needs to have access to the custom fields of this user. In addition, the Log report can be executed if in addition there is the Manage item log access right.
Standard check boxes Delete item, Rename item, View custom fields, Edit custom fields, View admin fields, Manage admin fields, Manage item log, View and download files, and Upload and delete files work for users as described above.
Such access rights as View detailed item properties, Change icon, and Edit ACL propagated items do not affect users at all.
