Permissions Quick Reference | Permissions Detailed Reference | Group Configuration
This section covers Permission information and how to set up groups for users. Groups should be configured based upon the modules purchased and the individual needs of the company. If you wish to modify some existing permission structures instead of creating your own from scratch, please submit a support ticket and we will be happy to provide several sql scripts that can create some default permission groups for you.
In general, users should not be granted individual permissions directly; rather users should be assigned to one or more user groups that contain the permissions required for the person's job function. At this time, Visual Casino cannot translate LDAP groups or claims to Visual Casino groups or permissions. Both LDAP and Local Users must be manually assigned to groups to have access to Visual Casino.
