MAINTAIN USER GROUPS

Use this screen to establish user groups and the modules and functions that each group can execute. Each user can override the modules and functions' settings established here in the Maintain User Override Rights screen.

If you select the Use Web Security model for Client/Server option in the System Settings (Others » System Administration » System Settings) screen, the information you set up in this screen is not applicable. The system uses the information set up in the Web application. A message displays:

Warning: Web security rights are being used as specified in the System Settings screen. Client Server security rights maintained in this application are not applicable.

The modules are listed in the order in which they appear on the Navigate screen.

You must establish at least one user group for each company before you can create any user ID in the Maintain Users screen.
