# Access Manager

The **Access Manager** application allows a user to easily see and adjust the permissions of User Accounts and Groups across the environment.

## Key Features

### Accounts And Group Access Manager

- **Linked Groups:** This Page will display only the Groups linked with other Groups. Learn more about [Linked Groups.](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/using-base-groups?highlight=linked)
- **All Groups:** This Page will display all the Group names, linked Group names, and Group folder paths. If the user selects a particular Group it shows the main Group accounts along with linked Group accounts.
- **Account Relations:** This section will display the Accounts and their relation. It will display all Accounts that selected the **Manager** option while creating.
- **Account Impersonations:**
  - It will display all the Impersonation Accounts from the Database. Learn more about [Impersonations.](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/temporary-account-impersonation)
  - **Red Expire Icon** is shown if an impersonation is expired.
  - **Blue Clock Icon** is shown if impersonation is active.
  - **White List icon** is shown if impersonation is set to never expire.

### Permission Access Manager

- **Group Access:**
  - Group permissions are generally tied to a Project to ensure the elements have the proper access when exported into a different location.
  - The permissions marked in **yellow** show that it is NOT connected to any Project.
  - This Page shows the given permissions for all the Groups.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/image-1721395690370.png)
- **Account Access:**
  - Account permissions should generally **NOT** be tied to a Project since it would only give access to that user.
  - As a best practice, it is more scalable to tie **User Groups** to permissions.
  - The permissions marked in **yellow** show account permissions that are currently tied to a Project.
  - It will not display the particular Folder name if the user is mentioned in **Filter Option.**
  - This Page shows the given Permissions for all the Accounts.
- **Folder Permissions Inheritance:**
  - Folders and Designer Projects are given **Permission Inheritance,** which grants any nested Subfolders the same permissions as their containing parent Folder.
  - On this page, by default, it displays the **Hierarchy View** for Security Folders.
  - This Page has set a Filter option for **Inherit Permission True** and **Hidden Equals to False.**
- **Recent Changes:**
  - It displays all recently changed or modified Folders.
  - Users can directly check the particular Entity details by selecting a particular Folder.
  - This Page has a **Modified By is Not in List** Filter option to hide particular records.

## Considerations

- Users should have the [Error Handling Accelerator](https://documentation.decisions.com/projects/docs/error-handling) installed before utilizing this Accelerator.
- **Group Access:** Group permissions are generally tied to a Project to ensure the elements have the proper access when exported into a different location.
- **Account Access:** Account permissions should generally NOT be tied to a Project since it would only give access to that user.
- **Account Relation:** It will display all Accounts that selected the Manager option while creating. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2024-07-19_09h24_52%20manager.png)
