Entity association — Associates a user with entities within the structure tree. This option is accessible from Configuration > Administration > Users > Structure. See Limit User Visibility with Entities for more information.

Allowable assets — Entity association includes which assets the user is allowed to view. This feature works like a filter within an entity or a correlation context. You can, for this reason, think of it as a subset of entity association (visibility limitation). This option is accessible from Configuration > Administration > User > New. See Create New Accounts for Local Users for instructions.

Templates — Grant access to different parts of the Sheriff CSM web interface. Templates are a straight forward way of applying or selecting which parts of the UI are accessible to a user. This option is accessible from Configuration > Administration > Users > Templates. See Control User Authorization with Templates
