Muti-Account Systems: Operator permissions are
associated with account folders--allowing different types
of permissions to be assigned to groups of accounts.
Accounts and account folders need to have been
set up appropriately. For details, refer to "Working
with Accounts and Folders" (near the beginning of the
Configuration section). Client/Server Systems:
Permissions can also be assigned for each specific
client workstation. In this case, each operator will be
able to use only the features that are assigned to them
AND allowed for their workstation.
See: "Client/Server Access and Permissions".
In the same way that user authorities
determine what users can do, "operator
permissions" determine the items and features
that groups of operators will be able to use.
For each specific item, click once to assign
view permission (magnifying glass), or click
again to assign view and edit permission
(pencil). If you click a 3rd time, this will clear
the selection.
Tip: Some suitable 'templates' (permission types) are
provided to give you a quick starting-point.
Permission to Use the Wizards: To use the
configuration and communications Wizards (Tools
menu), your operator permissions must grant
"Permission Type: All permissions" for the specific
account folder.

Technical Note: An operator cannot edit their own
permissions, or assign settings they don't have to
another operator. Items that are not available will either
be not displayed, or grey in color.
