Permissions Tab

Permissions is a critical feature that allows administrators to manage and control access to various application functionalities. Administrators can use it to grant or restrict access to key functionalities within Thinfinity® Workspace.

By enabling or disabling permissions for specific users or groups, organizations can tailor user experiences based on roles, ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive features like audit logs, administrative controls, or reporting services.
