Permission Groups
With Permission Groups you can control which sections of SYSTOC can be accessed by any user.
Setting up Permission Groups is a three-step process:
- Establish Permission Groups, which store typical access rights.
- Define the rights of those groups (see Permission).
- Assign a Permission Group to each user (see User Information).
You can have as many Permission Groups as you want, but a few will normally be sufficient. The report SYSTOC Security and Permissions is a useful tool for reviewing existing permission groups, permissions, and user access settings.
Access Permission Groups from
SYSTOC is shipped with three predefined Permission Groups:
- ADMIN, which allows access to all sections of the system (the highest level of security).
- LEVEL1, which allows individuals to modify, but not delete, information at various levels within the system. You must assign all remote users to a permission group that gives them “view only” access to SYSTOC data.
- All iSYSTOC E.R. users should be given a Permission Group of NORIGHTS.
For more information on iSYSTOC, see the iSYSTOC Setup/Installation guide.
Note: If you need to create a new group, use
Copy from the
existing group that is closest to your needs. Be sure to also copy the
subordinate records. Give the group a new name, save it, and then edit the
specific access rights as desired.
