Once you have defined user types, you can assign rights to these types, thereby defining which functions within the system they have access to.
All general system functions can now be set to allow or block access to that function. Type rights allow settings to be determined for all functions EXCEPT those applying to Templates or Projects. Access rights to projects and templates and the functions relating to them are set in Roles. This allows the administrator to allocate project related user rights per project rather than globally.
By default the system administrator has access to ALL functions within the system. The rights are setup by the menu panels that contain the functions.
Click on panel to set up the user type rights for that panel for example to allow a user type to view, add, edit and delete Users, check the appropriate boxes.
The user type permissions control access to the general system functions not related to tenders or templates. A user may only have one type assigned to him which would determine his permissions for the use of the various system functions.
The user type permissions are grouped into the following categories:
· Show: This permission grants the user access to the function
· Add: This permissions grants the user permission to add new items where applicable
· Edit: This permission grants the user permission to edit existing items where applicable
· Delete: This permission grants the user permission to delete items where applicable.
The user type permissions are split into internal user types and external user types. Only the permissions applicable to the internal or external type may be configured for the specific type.
