Setting User Rights
By default, a new user has no access rights. When you assign a user to a group, they will have access to everything the group has access to.
Keep in mind that if the user’s individual settings allow access to areas that the group’s settings do not, they will still have access to these areas. If access to a module is completely restricted from a user, it could affect access in other modules. For example, if a user does not have access to the General Ledger module and they attempt to create a Terms Code in Accounts Receivable, that user will not be able to save the code because permission to view General Ledger accounts is required to save a Terms Code.
The following steps describe assigning user rights:
1 In the Controller module, select Security Options > Add / Change User Accounts from the left navigation pane.
2 In the User ID box, select the user.
3 Select the Rights tab.
4 Select the Edit button.

5 Double-click an item or click the plus next to the item to open sub-items.
6 Place a check mark in the check box to allow this user to access the specified area.
If the check box is empty, this user cannot access that window or menu.
To quickly set rights for several users of the same security level, select the Copy From button and then select the user that you want to copy.
NOTE: If you select a check box to give a user rights to a specific menu option or window, all higher-level check boxes associated with that option are also checked. For example, if you check the Add / Change Users check box under Full Denali Access > Controller > Security, each of the higher-level check boxes are also checked. This also means that even though a top-level check box is checked, all the check boxes under it aren’t necessarily checked. Make sure to expand the trees to ensure you assign appropriate rights to this user before you save. |
7 Select Save to save the changes.
After editing, you must log out and log in to the system to activate the new user’s rights.
