Add Privileges to a User

Understanding the Privileges Hierarchy

The privileges are organized as follows:

 

Expand the All Privileges folder to view main menu/module folders. Expand menu/module folders to view options. Expand menu/module options to view tasks.

 

Note

Use the Expand All or Collapse All buttons to open or close all nodes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To assign a privilege to a user:

  1. From the Setup menu, select Security Manager.  

  2. Click the blueUsers tab in the upper left corner of the screen. The list of existing users will display in the left pane of the screen.

  3. To add privileges to an existing user, click on the User ID in the left pane.

  4. Click the Privileges tab on the bottom of the screen.

 

 

Note

Privileges that have already been assigned to the user as a member of a group will be checked and shaded. At the task level, the Group icon will also indicate the task was assigned to the user as a member of a group.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. To assign all privileges in the system to the user, click the All Privileges checkbox.

Note

The SYSADMIN has privileges to everything in Security Manager. As a result, privileges cannot be edited for the SYSADMIN.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. To assign all option and task privileges contained in a menu/module to a user, click the associated checkbox at the Folder level.

  2. To assign all task privileges contained in a Menu/Module Option to a user, click the associated checkbox at the Option level.  

  3. To assign an individual task to a user, click the associated checkbox at the Task level.

  4. After all appropriate groups, privileges, and reports have been assigned to a specific user ID, continue adding and changing users, or save the completed user.

  5. When finished, click the Save button.

  6. Click the Exit icon in the upper right corner to exit the application.
