About Entitlements

V-Suite users must be given permission to use V-Suite applications. In order to assign application permissions to a user, you must assign the user to a security group. The security group defines which applications and functions its members can utilize.

Jill, for example, is responsible for IT related tasks and is tasked to support V-Suite users. She is assigned to the "System Administrators" security group so that she can access system administration applications and functions. Herman is an engineer, he needs to be able to use engineering applications like the Knowledge Book. He is assigned to the "User" security group.

A user can be a member of multiple security groups. Security groups should not be confused with organization roles, a security group defines what its members can do, not which data its members can see or modify.

V-Suite comes with 3 system defined security groups, each with a predefined set of application permissions:

  • System Administrators
  • Project Administrators
  • Users

The following restrictions apply to system defined security groups:

  • A system defined security group cannot be deleted
  • The application permissions of a system defined security group cannot be modified

Manage Security Groups

Security groups are managed via the Entitlement Application. The Entitlement Application can be accessed via the System Administration icon on the V-Suite home page.



You will not see the entitlement application if you are not entitled to use the application.


The Entitlement Application presents a table with the V-Suite security groups and lets you perform the following:
