Setting up task permissions

Once you have set up security groups (see Employee group security), select the task permissions that belong to each security group. This includes selecting which menu options, windows, tab windows and software functions that a security group can access or edit.

The system comes with default permissions already set for the default security groups. You can modify them, set up additional ones and/or remove permissions from any default group.

Select the Product from the drop-down that you want to set up the task permissions for.
Select the Group (security group) from the drop-down that you want to set up the task permissions for. The Group Descriptions assigned to the Group are listed in the panel.
Under Group Description, click

Select the checkbox in the Allow column to give permission to a task.

on the Tasks bar).

Add a new permission by describing the function and activity and selecting the checkbox in the Allow column. See Task permissions for the meaning and use of symbols.
