Available Functions for this Module

This table identifies the Costpoint functions for the current module that the user is not authorized to execute using partial rights, but is authorized to execute using optimistic rights. For new users, this table is initialized with all the Costpoint functions for the current module. As you select functions, they are removed from this table and placed in the Authorized Functions for this User table.

You can authorize any number of functions for a user. To select one function at a time, either highlight it by clicking on it once and then choose the Select button or double-click on the function. To select more than one at a time, hold the mouse button down and move the pointer until more than one row is highlighted. Then use the Select button.

Authorized Functions for this User

This table identifies the Costpoint functions of the current module that can be accessed by the user using partial rights, but cannot be accessed by the user using optimistic rights. This table is initially clear, but any number of functions can be selected for it.

If there are functions in this table, you can clear them so that the user is no longer authorized to perform them. They are removed from this table and placed in the Available Functions for this Module table. To clear one function at a time, either highlight it by clicking on it once and then click the Deselect button or double-click on the function. To clear more than one at a time, hold the mouse button down and move the pointer until more than one row is highlighted, then click the Deselect button.

Function

This non-editable field displays the function ID in both tables.

Function Title

This non-editable field displays the name of the function in both tables.

Function Rights

This field displays only in the Authorized Functions for this Group table. This field indicates the group rights for this function, F (Full), R (Read-only), or N (No rights).

If you set the Module Rights for this group to P (Partial rights) on the main screen, this field defaults to F (Full rights). If you set the Module Rights for this group to O (Optimistic partial rights) on the main screen, this field defaults to N (No rights). In both cases, the default can be changed.
