Assigning Security Privileges to System Areas

Security privilege access levels range from one to nine. The security levels
you assign to system privileges are hierarchical.

Level 1 grants full administrator access. It is the highest access level.

The lowest possible access level is Level 9. The lowest access level is a
“read-only” level which provides for running reports, querying the
database, viewing history records, and performing any other function
that does not change the data.

You do not have to assign all nine levels of access. If you want to use
only five levels, then 5 would represent the lowest level of access in
your hierarchical system.

When using access levels 1 through 5, to make your lowest access level
a “read-only” level, assign all security privileges a level 4, 3, 2, or 1.
That way, a user assigned to Level 5 would not have access to any sys-
tem privileges. (All users, even those with security access levels out-
side the range of any system privileges can run reports, query the
database, look at the history records, and perform any other function
that does not change the data.)

Note: You do not have to assign all nine levels of access. You can use up
to nine levels; however, if you decide you want to use only five levels, then
5 would represent the read-only level of access in your hierarchical sys-
tem.

Security privilege access levels are assigned at the Security Privilege form.
In this form, an access level is assigned to each Command Tab or Com-
mand Set. The access level given to the command tab or command set area
corresponds to user access levels. When assigning access levels to security
privileges, consider the function and its importance to your organization
and your work flow.

To assign an access level to a system command tab and/or command set,
please refer to the steps that follow:

1.

Select Tools > Security > Privileges option from the ribbon. The Secu-
rity Privileges form appears.
