Thank you for your feedback
You can assign users population-based Reader permissions. This lets you manage which records a user can access in the Reader.
For example, population permissions can display Astronomy application records in the Reader only to Astronomy department faculty.
Assign population-based permissions
To grant a user access to records enrolled in a population in the Reader, assign the user the population via Population Permissions.
Upon navigating to the Reader, the user will only see records that are enrolled in the granted population in the Reader bins.
Click Database on the Slate navigation bar. The Database page appears.
In the Users & Access section, click User Permissions. The Active Users summary page appears with the current list of active user accounts.
Click the desired user account in the list. The user account summary page appears.
Click Edit User. The user’s account settings appear in a popup.
Click the Populations tab.
Click Insert Population. An Edit Population popup appears.
Select the appropriate population from the Population list.
Select the Reader checkbox in the Permissions section.
What if a user needs access to more than one population?
Just repeat the assignment steps. Click Insert Population as many times as necessary and give a user Reader access for each and every population configured.
Can I assign a role with a population permission?
Yes. When granting a user a population permission with a role, grant the role on the Populations tab - DO NOT grant the role on the Roles tab. The user will inherit all permissions granted by the role, but will inherit the population-capable permissions ONLY for the selected population.
