Configuration Manager - Clearances | Scheer IMC

This is an important configuration area as it's where all default clearance rules for objects other than users are set, as well as a few other settings like "Secure course requests". Default clearances for users is defined in business rules either uploaded in "Configuration → Import" or in the "Clients → Settings tab".

In the configuration manager default clearances can be defined for all created objects in the learning platform. Individual user, groups or clients can be defined to have access on any created object (learning content, user, etc.) in the learning platform. The specified user, group or client will be added with the specified authorisations to the access control list (ACL)

Setting	What does the setting do?
Use explicit group membership	Determines the members of the target groups MANAGER, GROUP, CREATORGROUP. True: Rights to objects defined for the target members of a group apply only to the members of the explicitly designated groups. Parent groups of group X will not inherit access to defined objects. False: Rights to objects that have been defined for target members of a group apply to all implied members of the designated groups, i.e. the designated groups themselves as well as all their parent groups. Parent groups of group X will inherit access to defined objects. Clash of inheritance Please note that navigation inheritance works just the other way around: Navigation: Child groups inherit access of parent group. Clearances: Parent groups inherit access of child groups.
Secure course requests	If activated users will be required to login to access course description pages externally; E.g. via Portal catalogue or direct link to the course description page.
