[KB3624] How do I create or edit permission sets in ESET Remote Administrator Web Console? (6.x)

Issue

Permissions sets are used to grant access to specific features. After creating a new permissions set, you can assign it to new or existing users to control which features they have access to.

Solution

ERA 6.5 User Permissions

This article assumes that your ERA user has the correct access rights and permissions to perform the tasks below.

If you are still using the default Administrator user, or you are unable to perform the tasks below (the option is grayed out), see the following article to create a second administrator user with all access rights (you only need to do this once):

Create a second administrator user in ESET Remote Administrator 6.5

A user must have the following permissions for the group that contains the modified object:

*Functionality*	*Read*	*Use*	*Write*
Permissions Sets	✓	✓	✓
Groups & Computers	✓	✓	✓
Native Users	✓	✓	✓

Once these permissions are in place, follow the steps below.

Open ESET Remote Administrator Web Console (ERA Web Console) in your web browser and log in.
Click Admin → Access Rights → Permission Sets.

Click New to create a new permission set or click the existing permission set and click Edit to change existing permissions.
