Enabling Constraints

By defining constraints in the Cost Center or Grant, you can define which Users and User Groups have access to them . Constraints allow you to impose restrictions on the way Cost Centers and Grants are accessed.

By default, constraints are disabled. Before setting up constraints on both Cost Centers and Grants, you must first enable constraints , then set up individually for each Cost Center or Grant.

You can enable constraints in the Category level at Charging > Third Party Charging > Charging Models > . The following Category properties allow constraints to be enabled or disabled.

Enable User Constraints
Enable User Group Constraints

Enable User Constraints

Enabling User constraints means that only certain users will be given permission to use the Cost Centers or Grants in the selected category.

To enable user constraints for a category, select "Yes" from the combo box in this field.

For Cost Centers, this will enable the Users property in the Constraints category.
For Grants, this will enable the Users Quota property in the Grants category.

Selecting "No" means that no user constraints are applied and all users will have access to all Cost Centers or Grants in this category.

Enable User Group Constraints

Enabling User Group constraints means that only certain User Groups will be given permission to use the Cost Centers or Grants in the selected category.

To enable user group constraints for a category, select "Yes" from the combo box in this field. Selecting "No" means that all groups will have access to all Cost Centers in this category.
