About User Management

e-Dialog User Management™ allows certain users of Precision Central to determine and assign permissions that control what other users can do within the product suite. Permissions can control:

• user-specific data such as title, department, phone, and e-mail
• default values such as the local time zone
• which database schemas are accessible (most e-Dialog clients use only one schema. This feature provides additional control for clients having multiple schemas)
• which Precision Central applications are accessible
• which audience and suppression lists are accessible
• which application-specific features are accessible (in applications such as Campaign Builder, these features include access to database objects such as mailings and cells. Access control is based on categories which are implemented in the form of user defined fields or UDFs)

Notes

• Each time a user attempts to perform an action, Precision Central verifies that the user has permission to perform the action as explained in How Permission Checking Works.
• The privileges needed to grant and revoke privileges are described in How Roles Are Defined.
• Permissions are arranged by application, and then are grouped within the application, as described in Application Permissions and Preferences.
• In some cases, changing a permission changes the values of other permissions.
