User permissions software: Taking advantages of unification

Folder sharing via user permissions software
Sharing is a vital instrument for managing information. It allows to make information available to all permitted users over the local network. When a folder is shared, users can enter it from the local network and access the files within. There are special software solutions for Windows that allow to set and check user permissions with purpose to make information accessible for users depending on their authorities. A network folder can be adjusted to proper user access rights by using user permissions software. In order to increase the information security, it can be applied to limit the actions that users can perform.

Using a unified user permission system
That software is perfect for group management and project management allowing to share information among group members. At the same time it doesn't brings task management solutions so the project manager should implement such solutions separately and spend more money and time. The idea to find a unified task management solution is worth to be realized in group management. Besides obvious saving of money, the project manager gets more flexibility as he can assign project tasks to group members with help of task management and user permissions program. Such a program generates the following benefits:

• Keeping information in one place. Task management and user permissions software lets keep information on projects in a centralize database which represents project data in a tree-like view.
• Sharing information. That solution allows to share folders and tasks among group members. Access to information is based on preset user access permissions, and collaboration is in real time mode.
• Permission platform. It's preferably when that system is based on client-server platform as it brings reliable and secure access to the database that is deployed on a dedicated server machine.

You can use VIP Task Manager. This is a program which is based on the Firebird client-server platform. VIP Task Manager allows to create a central database in which access to task groups (folders) and tasks can be adjusted by using the tool 'Permissions Panel'.VIP Task Manager is designed to manage tasks within projects with possibility to manage project resources and data in the central project database. The project manager can check user permissions in real time and make changes to rights (for example, when he needs to delegate task or re-allocate resources) in a few mouse clicks. In VIP Task Manager there's functionality to assign supervisors to tasks so the project manager can delegate a part of managerial duties to the team leader whose access to the project information is based on preset access rights.
