Permissions

Permissions grant access to resources in the user interface, typically pages. Permissions are added to Roles, and then a Role is allocated to a user.

In practice, it is unlikely that a user with day to day responsibilities in customer services would require access beyond Case Management, Lists, Dictionary or Suppression. Similarly, an analyst that has responsibility for the creation of rule and reports is unlikely to need access to those pages enjoyed by customer service.

In the absence of a permission the user will not be able to navigate given absence of the resource in the menu. In the event of deep linking to a resource without a permission, an unauthorised http status code will be returned.
