Administration

This item of the Deltek PM Compass hierarchy controls the entire Administration panel in PM Compass.

When you enable this item, all of its child items are also enabled by default. You can, however, define the permissions for each Administration menu item individually.

In addition, some of the parent items are not really securable options. PPM Administrator only uses them to group child items. For example, the Links menu item under Details View of Projects is only used to group the securable options on the Links tab, and does not indicate that you can disable the tab. Similarly, the Report Categories item of Reports is used to group various categories, and does not refer to a securable option. Thus, selecting either Enabled or Disabled does not have any effect.
