Using Security Profiles
Security Profiles provide information related to the access of Modules and features by users. For example, they determine whether a Menu Option is available on the Left Menu and if the 'New' button is available for Subscriptions in the Data Entry page.
Security Profiles are then assigned to Users and determine the respective Modules and features each User will have access to when logging into the System.
- Navigate to Security Profiles and explore existing entries via the Summary page.
- Click on the link (Name or Number) of the entry of your interest to enter the Data Entry page and see more detail.
- Use the Actions Menu to create a NEW Security Profile, modify (EDIT) or DELETE an existing one.
- Use BACK to return to the Summary page and CANCEL to revert any unwanted changes made to the Security Profile.
- Click on View Active Users to view the Users that are using the specific Security Profiles.
View the Attributes Table below for a comprehensive description of the Security Profiles fields. Check the Validations Table for a list of available Actions and their related validations when working with Security Profiles.
