Manual test runs security commands
The Edit Manual Test Runs command must be enabled to use many of the features controlled by the following commands.
The See Tab commands are only useful if the Edit Manual Test Runs or View Manual Test Runs commands are enabled.
Keep in mind that the navigation for accessing commands in the Helix ALM web client is different than the desktop client, but command security enabled in the desktop client applies to the same commands in the web client.
