Permissions can be added to control which user groups (and therefore which users) can see displays and nodes in the GUI:
- Explorer.xml, <permission>: explorer tasks (displays), such as the Time Series Dialog or the Grid Display. Tasks will not be visible in the menus or toolbar.
- Topology.xml, <viewPermission>: tasks (nodes) in the Forecast Tree
- GridDisplay.xml, <viewPermission>: displays (nodes) in the Spatial Display
- Filters.xml, <viewPermission>: filters (nodes) in the Data Viewer
- DisplayGroups.xml, <viewPermission>: shortcuts (listed under the Star icon) in the Time Series Display
- webOperatorClient.xml, <viewPermission>: components (displays) in the WebOC

You need to configure at least 3 files to set-up permissions:
- Define <userGroup> 's (1 or multiple) in SystemConfigFiles/UserGroups.xml and assign them <user> id'sIDs.
- userGroups can be nested
- Alternatively, you can assign users to userGroups in the Admin Interface: Users#EditUser
- Define <permission> 's (1 or multiple) in SystemConfigFiles/Permissions.xml and assign them <userGroup> id's1 or multiple <userGroup> IDs.
- Include permission configuration in any or all of the above listed configuration files, using the <permission> IDs.
