Portal Level Permissions
The Portal Level Permissions option specifies the types of operations this portal security group can perform. The authorizations that are selected reflect the authorizations granted to the role specified in the BSA Role Name field.
Removing an authorization at the portal level takes precedence over permissions granted to a role in BMC Server Automation. In other words, if a role is granted an authorization in BMC Server Automation but the corresponding check box is not selected here at the portal level, the role cannot perform that operation in the portal.
Requirements for auto-selection
When you select a role in the BSA Role Name field, the portal examines the permissions granted to that role in BMC Server Automation. If the role has been granted a minimum set of permissions needed to perform a type of operation in the portal, such as Compliance operations, the check box for that type of operation is selected automatically.
Partial permissions
If a checkbox is not automatically selected, the role you have designated in the BSA Role Name field does not have all the permissions necessary to perform all the capabilities associated with a particular type of operation. You can still select the check box to grant this security group permission to perform the operation, but the security group will be limited by the permissions granted in BMC Server Automation.
For example, you may specify a role that has permissions to run Compliance jobs in BMC Server Automation but does not have permissions to run remediation operations when a compliance failure is detected. In this situation, the check box for Compliance is not selected automatically. You should select the check box to grant this portal security group the same set of compliance functionality available in BMC Server Automation. If you do not select the check box, this portal security group cannot run any Compliance operations in the portal.
You can view a needed to perform certain types of actions, such as Compliance job execution or patch remediation. The list of permissions are recommendations only. You may discover situations that require additional permissions.

Threat Director permission
The Threat Director permission lets users perform actions using the tools available in the Threat Director menu. Many of the actions that you can perform require servers to be licensed for Threat Director.
