Security helps organizations reduce the risk of security threats. With simple, prescriptive, and robust security capabilities, SmartProject helps organizations easily adopt and secure their vital Project data.
All operations in SmartProject are controlled with certain security rights assigned from the Security Center. Security can be enforced by assigning rights for each module. Security rights are assigned at User or User Group Levels

NOTE: Security preference is always for the User. If a specific security has been assigned to a Group but denied to the User, then the user cannot access the object. If security is specified for a Group and is unspecified for the User, then the user can access the object based on the group rights.
Three common scenarios on assigning security right is discussed in the following section.
1.The User is assigned the security rights.
2.The User is denied the security rights.
3.The security is unspecified for the User.
For Example:
Case 1: User A is a part of Designer group. Designer Group has the permission and the User A doesn't have permission to edit a drawing. But the user A will not have the permission to edit based on the user rights.
Case 2: User A has the permission to edit a drawing. But the Designer group has no permission. But the user A will have the permission to edit.
Case 3: The edit permission for user A is unspecified. But the Designer group has the permission to edit. Then the user A will have the permission to edit.
