Users groups

Hi guys,


I there any way to tell what users groups are applied to what assets? Rather than manually looking at the permissions screen.

Is really hard to see their usage.



Please hit me in the face if there is a simple way. I have a wet fish at the ready.



many thanks

Hey Fuzz


There is a report called the "Structured Asset Report", if it had an option for permissions there would be an easy way and you would be feeling the cold hard slap of the fish. It doesn't so there isn't and you won't.



The next best thing to do is to create an asset list, pint it to a root node and use what you need from the following in the default format;



%asset_read_permission% Comma separated list of the full names for users with read access

%asset_write_permission% Comma separated list of the full names for users with write access

%asset_admin_permission% Comma separated list of the full names for users with administrator access

%asset_read_permission_email% Comma separated list of email addresses for users with read access

%asset_write_permission_email% Comma separated list of email addresses for users with write access

%asset_admin_permission_email% Comma separated list of email addresses for users with administrator access

%asset_read_permission_email_linked% Comma separated list of linked email addresses for users with read access

%asset_write_permission_email_linked% Comma separated list of linked email addresses for users with write access

%asset_admin_permission_email_linked% Comma separated list of linked email addresses for users with administrator access



This will do what you want. Some would argue that it is an "easy" way to do it but it is not obvious as the asset list asset doesn't actually have the keywords in it's list for insertion.



Anyway, there it is :slight_smile:
