5. PM Security Administration

Tools -> Security

Billing Security options have been added for Groups, Roles and Users. Each section will have to be completed to allow Users access to assigned areas of Billing. Click on a specified action to allow access (green check mark), deny access (red X) or default to the user's individual privileges (leave blank ). Clicking on Allow All button will place a check in all boxes and Clicking Deny All will place a red X in all boxes.

Users should be added to Security Prior to assigning privileges to Billing

Security changes made will not take effect until you log out. For additional documentation on Security see SOAPedia online manual

Assign Billing Security Privileges to Roles

Assign Billing Security Privileges to Roles

Access to specified sections can be manually allowed or denied for each user.

Another way to assign security privileges to users is to select or create a Role, assign accessibility to the role, and then assign that Role to a User. This will eliminate the need to go into every section of billing for each user and repeat the process.

1. Click on the expander node next to Roles.

2. Click on the expander node next to one of the Roles in the list. (Screenshot shows Office Manager selected)
