Customizing Access Level Privileges

Each user in PME has an access level. This access level determines the actions the user is allowed to take in the software. There are 5 different access levels. The highest level is supervisor, the lowest level is observer. Each access level has a default set of privileges. You can customize many of these privileges, as shown below.

NOTE: When access level privileges are changed for a logged in user, the user must log out and then log in again for the changes to take effect. If the logged in user's privileges are reduced, some functionality might no longer be available to them even before they log out and back in.

To customize access level privileges:

1. In User Manager, select the Privileges tab.
2. Find the privileges and access levels you want to customize and set the desired options.

   TIP: Use Search to find the privilege you are looking for based on key words.

   NOTE: Only correctly licensed features and functions are displayed in the Privileges tab.

3. Click Save Privileges to apply the changed settings.
