User Access Permissions

Note:  Read Only user accounts can be created by not assigning any permissions to the user's login account.

Once a user group is determined, an appropriate list of permissions will appear at the bottom of the screen.  The person created the new user account checks the appropriate permissions to be assigned to the user account.  The table below indicates which permissions can be assigned to each type of user account.  If no permissions are checked, the account would be for read only access.

 

Definitions of Permissions that can be assigned to users:
