Procedure documentationModifying Authorizations

 

When an authorization for a module or a parent function is granted, the authorization is automatically copied to all the child functions. For example, if No Authorization is granted for the Sales module, the user does not have any authorizations for any function throughout the entire module.

Only a superuser can modify permissions for other users. However, the superuser cannot modify the authorizations for him or herself.

Procedure

To define or restrict different authorizations for individual functions in an application:

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Administration Next navigation step System Initialization Next navigation step Authorizations Next navigation step General Authorizations End of the navigation path. The Authorizations window displays.

  2. Choose the user name in the left column.

  3. Click the icon to the left of an application or function in the list to expand to the next level of authorizations. To show or hide all the functions of an application at once, choose Expand or Collapse, respectively.

  4. To change a user’s authorization for a function or an entire module, single-click the authorization in the list to the right. A dropdown list appears with the possible authorizations for the function or application. Choose an entry from the list to select it.

  5. Once a user has been selected, display and change the corresponding authorizations as required. Superusers appear in gray in the list, as their permissions cannot be altered.
