The Access tab allows you to grant the user access to specific functions within the system.  By selecting the Security 'Allow' checkbox, the user will be given access for that selection.  Depending on WorkPlace Modules and/or Interfaces installed, various sub-tabs will appear on this page.  SELECT from the options below to view the specific security options available for each tab:

Role Tab

The Role tab allows you to grant the user access to specific functions within the system based on the Role or Roles established.  Once a Role or Roles have been moved from Available to the Selected and the Refresh button has been selected, Security Access Allow/Deny check boxes will automatically be applied to the currently selected WorkPlace user.  Use the access tab to override any setting for a given role or roles applied to this user.  A WorkPlace user can be associated with multiple roles

When using Role based security Allow/Deny checkboxes are selected on the role (no checkbox will be visible on the access tabs) and will be applied to the user once associated here.  Use the access tab to override a setting for role(s) applied to this user.
