How is permission level typically assigned to a user?

Permission levels in a system like DTS are typically assigned manually by a designated authority, such as a DTA (Data Transfer Administrator) or system administrator. This manual assignment allows for careful consideration of each user's role, responsibilities, and the specific access they need to perform their tasks effectively.

This approach ensures that security protocols are followed and that users only have access to the data and functionalities that are necessary for their roles. It enables administrators to set permissions based on organizational policies, compliance requirements, and best practices for data management.

Other methods of assigning permissions, like automatic assignments or self-assignment, may not provide the necessary oversight or control over access, which can lead to security vulnerabilities. Similarly, external approval processes can add layers of complexity and delay, making manual assignments more practical and secure in most situations.
