nService User Authorization
nService authorization (i.e. access control) is based on groups. Each service in the service tree has three groups defined: user group, technician group and administrator group. Services that don’t have these three groups defined inherit them from their ancestors. If a service inherits the groups, it must inherit all three groups.

1. Services, service requests, service routing and notification rules, service statuses, service priorities, products, knowledge base, question & answer wizards, knowledge articles
