Important notes about assigning Access Control
• Admin Users and Users that belong to the Admin Group auto-
matically have full access to all functions and Locations in
viewLinc; Access permissions are ignored.
• If you assign a User Full Control for a Zone, all sub-zones and
Locations inherit the Full Control setting.
• The effective User Access Control permission, with multiple
User- and Group-level permissions defaults to the highest set-

Location, but one of the Groups that the User belongs to has
Full Control for the same Location, the User would have Full
Control to the top-level Location, System.
Note: Use the Access Control Inspector tool to quickly determ-
ine which Users or Groups have access to your Zones
and Locations.
• The Hide permission overrides all other Access Control per-
missions. It is available to help you handle exceptional cases,
such as when you want to give a Group Full Control to a Loca-
tion, but want to Hide the Location from a specific User in
that Group.
