The user permission system in OpsCenter allows the administrator to customize what each user can do in the OpsCenter system. When a user is created, they must be assigned an administration level group, "None", "Partial", or "Full". This group sets the initial permissions for the user based on the default settings for the selected group. The permissions for each user can be further customized by clicking on the Custom Permission button in the User Manager. When a user's administration grouping is changed in the User Manager, their custom settings are reset to the default settings for the group. Below are the default permission settings for each of the administrator levels. The "No User" permissions are what are given to an OpsCenter client that is logged in without any user specified. These permission setting templates cannot be modified.

The permission options are organized into three different groups. The "Manage" group determines what items a user can add, edit, delete, and archive. The "View" group determines what items a user can open, view, and print. The "General" group controls access to a miscellaneous set of features. Most permission options are also divided into "own" or "other's" categories. This differentiates between being able to view/manage a user's own items and another user's items. "Manage" permissions includes view permissions so a person will automatically be able to view items if they have manage permissions, no matter what the view permission is set to. Also, global settings in the System Controls will override individual user permissions. For example, if a user has permissions to manage their own bulletin board posts, the option will still be disabled if the bulletin board feature has been disabled in the System Controls.
