Permissions – overview

Permissions control which functions a user may use in Docuflair. They are granted through groups: a user belongs to a group, and the group holds certain permissions. That lets you specify, for example, that only administrators may register devices while ordinary users can merely scan and print.

This page lists every permission available in the AdminUI and describes which functions it controls. Permissions are granted through groups — see group permissions for how to assign them.
