About Permissions

Permissions control access to the pages of myFileGateway.

The permissions that control access to the pages of myFileGateway are:
  • myFileGateway Login
  • myFileGateway Logout (determines whether the logout button is displayed on the pages)
  • myFileGateway User Name (determines whether the user name is displayed on the user interface)
  • myFileGateway File Activity
  • myFileGateway Reports
  • myFileGateway Change Password
  • myFileGateway Help
  • Custom permissions created by System Administrators
  • myFileGateway Event Subscription
    Restriction: Partner users with the Event Subscription permission may receive notifications for events they have subscribed to, even if they do not have File Activity permission. The Event Subscription permission only affects a user's ability to view and modify their subscriptions to events. If the Event Subscription permission is removed from a user or group, the user or members of the group will continue to receive notifications for any events already subscribed to, but cannot subscribe to additional events.

The File Gateway Partner Users group is assigned all of the available permissions, which means that all available pages of myFileGateway are displayed for partner users assigned to the File Gateway Partner Users group. To limit partners to fewer permissions, create a new group and assign only the desired permissions. See About User Groups and Partner Groups.

Do not modify the File Gateway Partner Users group, because your changes may be overwritten when later builds are applied.
