Setting up security for setup

Selecting a check box on the Setup tab allows employees in the security group to see the item on the menu and add it to the dashboard. They can also see and select the item from a list window, add a new item, and change or delete the item.

If a check box is cleared, employees in this group can only see and select the item from a list window.
