The UTA Application Scope Access feature on the Settings page of all Universal Tracking Applications™ allows you to assign a designated role played by a user for a specific branch or company. In other words, you can define implicit permission for a given user to UTA objects without them being explicitly indicated on a record.

Impact: A user can now see the Level 1 items of a company based on the matrix permissions of the selected role, even if that individual is not assigned to the Level 1 items.

In the example below, "Rolf Lathrop" has been assigned as a "Manager" of "Abbeville Womens Equality." Rolf can see all of the Level 1 items belonging to "Abbeville Womens Equality." His access will be restricted by the Security Matrix permissions of the "Manager" role.

These permissions mean that the user does not have to be directly attached to the Level 1 item. They do not have to be the owner, assigned or in an associated company in order to see the items.
