Changing the settings for a role

To change the settings for a role:

  1. Navigate to the Roles tab in the System Administration module.

  2. Expand the User-defined roles tree.

  3. For the role you want to change, expand the tree.

  1. Find the individual permission or group of permissions for which you want to change the Access Level.

For each individual permission that displays one of the following symbols on this tree, you can set the Access Level. For some of the permissions, your choice of access levels may be limited to Full Access and Deny Access.

Symbol

Access level

Description

Full Access

This feature is available to the user, and the user is not prompted to enter a password when they access this feature.

Login Password

If a login password has been set for the user, the user must enter this password before they can use this feature.

This is useful in the case where GainSeeker may run unattended at some workstations. You can set this access level for features that should be available to GainSeeker users but not to others who share the GainSeeker workstation.

Level 1 Password

If a Level 1 password has been set for the configuration, the user must enter the requested password before they can use this feature.

Important note: If a Level 1 password is required for a feature, and if the Level 1 password has not been set for the configuration, the user will have full access to the option. For more details, see Passwords used by the Roles.

This is useful for features that should be unavailable to most GainSeeker users but easily accessible to power users who know the Level 1 password.

Level 2 Password

If a Level 2 password has been set for the configuration, the user must enter the requested password before they can use this feature.

Important note: If a Level 2 password is required for a feature, and if the Level 2 password has not been set for the configuration, the user will have full access to the option. For more details, see Passwords used by the Roles.

This is useful for features that should be unavailable to most GainSeeker users but easily accessible to power users who know the Level 2 password.

Deny Access

The user cannot use this feature.

For each group of permissions that displays the or symbol, you can set the Access Level for the group to Full Access and Deny Access:

If you expand a group that is set to Deny Access, all of the individual permissions in that group have symbols that are shaded red, as shown in the example below. This represents that the user will be denied access to the permissions in this group.

To change the access level for any permission or group of permissions that displays one of the symbols shown above:

    1. Right-click that permission or group. This will display the Set Access Level window.

    2. Click the access level you want to apply to this permission for this role, and then click OK.
