Within MKG, authorization can be granted per user or per user group. By definition, a user is a member of a user group. User groups are used to facilitate authorization, for example, per department where members have the same rights.

Depending on the situation and requirements, an authorization model can range from relatively simple to complex. Necessary knowledge of the MKG software and database structure is therefore required. This guide distinguishes between a simple and an extensive authorization.

If authorization has not yet been configured in MKG and you choose either the simple or extensive authorization, the MKG components described in this article can be used to set up the authorization.
