The following table describes the default permissions available in Grid Manager.
Permission | Description |

If you select the Grid Administration check box, the Grid Management and View Grid Status check boxes are selected by default and are disabled. |
Development Studio | Members of the group can access the BMC Atrium Orchestrator Development Studio and run workflows. |
Workflow execution permissions
When you activate a module on a grid, it is added to the Grid Permissions tab. All workflows inside the module appear in the permissions list. You can assign workflow execution permissions to the appropriate groups.
