Manager Permissions

Setting Manager Permissions

System and application manager functions are controlled through role based permissions. You will need to set these permissions before you can fully configure the system.

These permissions control both permissions and restrictions:

• Permissions – enhanced functionality for people in a role associated with the permission.
• Restrictions – reduced functionality for people in a role associated with the restriction.
• Universal Tracking Application (UTA) Permissions – When you start to add your own application to the system you will use the same settings page to control access to these applications.

1. Click the Configuration, Roles & Permissions menu.

The Permission Settings are located at the bottom of the page.

2. Click the Manager Permissions link.

The Manager Permissions page is displayed.

Not all roles displayed may exist in your instance.

This screen is divided into a number of sections.

• Permissions, Restrictions and UTA Permissions (and restrictions) are selected from the left panel.
• Roles that you may wish to associate with the selected permission are selected in the right panel.
• The Save button is displayed below the check boxes for the role selection.

The number of applications on the Permission list will vary depending on the applications that you have chosen to subscribe.
