User Security Groups

The User Security Group feature enables you to create separate menus for a single user or group of users. The User Security Group also includes Security Group field on the User Setup and Maintenance screen where you can assign a user to a specific security group.

Although the licensing structure in version 6.1 enables you to automatically limit access to only the modules, screens, tabs and reports by user type (for example, project manager, organizational manager, or administrator), this feature enables you to further limit the access to smaller subsets of users within the existing licensing structure.

Observe the following rules in creating User Security Groups:

• Restrictions created in the User Security Group to certain areas of Deltek Budgeting & Planning apply to members of the group even if the license types allow it.

When you assign employees the role of Accountant or Administrator, you can grant access to menu items that fall outside the license type. However, if you assign the employees to a User Security Group with restrictions to those items, the said menu items cannot be viewed.

• Certain areas in Deltek Budgeting & Planning that are visible to a user security group can only be viewed by the group's members if the license types also allow it.
