Permissions for functions

Setting of access rights from Permissions for Functions

Set the access rights for the following functions, which are found in the admin view under Config > Security > Permissions for functions.

• Detailed error messages for troubleshooting provides selected groups or users access to detailed error messages whenever they encounter website failures.
• Allow the user to act as a web service user lets a user call one of the web services provided by Episerver. This function is used only for system integration purposes.
• Allow users to move data/pages between page providers lets selected users or groups move pages between page providers. This is used for websites with a custom page provider integrated with another system. Because data is deleted in the source provider, you may want to limit access to this function.
