## The security model

These are key terms used in the security model:

Term | Explanation
--- | ---
Home Group | Home Group is the group where all objects (devices, tasks, templates, etc.) a user creates are automatically stored. Each user must only have one home group.
Object | Objects are located in Static Groups. Access to objects is by groups, not users (providing access by group makes it easy to accommodate multiple users, for example, if one user is on holiday). Server tasks and notifications are exceptions that require an "executing" user.
Access Group | Access Group sets the object's Static Group and access to the object based on the user's access rights.
Administrator | A user that has home group All with a full Permission Set over the group is effectively an administrator.
Access Right | The right to access an object or to execute a task is assigned with a Permission Set. See the list of all access rights and their functions for more details.
Permission Set | A Permission Set represents the permissions for users that access ESET PROTECT Web Console. They define what the user can see or do in ESET PROTECT Web Console. A user can be assigned multiple Permission Sets. Permission sets are applied only over objects in defined groups. These Static Groups are set in the Static Groups section when creating or editing a permission set.
Functionality | A functionality is one type of object or action. Typically, functionalities get these values: Read, Write, Use. The combination of functionalities applied to an Access Group is called a Permission Set.
