Managing Security Permissions

Permission Types

Expedient has 4 Permission types that can be granted to users:

1. View - Users who have been granted View Permissions to a screen will be able to find and open the respective screen on the Main Menu. When the option is available, the user will also be able to open the screen from another screen. If the User doesn’t have permission and error message will appear to contact the site superuser.

2. Add - Users who have been granted Add Permissions to a screen will be able to create new records for that screen. If a User does not have this Permission, the Add button will be inactive, and the User will not be able to add a record

3. Update - Users who have been granted Update Permissions to a screen will be able update existing records found in the screen. If a User does not have this Permission, the Update button will be inactive, and the User will not be able to update a record

4. Delete - Users who have been granted Delete Permissions to a screen will be able delete existing records found in the screen. If a User does not have this Permission, the Delete button will be inactive, and the User will not be able to delete a record

View/Add/Update/Delete permission can only be modified/set where applicable. (E.g. Reports will only show View Permission and only this permission can be modified). When View Permissions are revoked that Screen’s Add/Update/Delete Permissions are also automatically revoked.

Please Note: Some screens do a further check when deleting. For example, deleting a customer with Transactions is not permitted regardless of the User’s Permissions.

Permission Levels

Expedient allows the management of User Permissions at 3 levels

1. System Level - Default Permissions for screens. These Permissions apply to all users unless the permission has been overridden by a Group Level or User Level Permission.

2. User Group Level - Users can be assigned to one or multiple groups. These groups can then have Permissions granted or revoked which will then apply to all users within the group. Group level Permissions override System Level Permission.

3. User Specific Level – A Permission specifically set to a single User. A User Level Permission will override any User Group or System Level Permission.

Permission Inheritance

A User’s Permission is inherited from the System Level Permissions unless a specific Permission has been set on a User Group or User Level that does not match the System Level. When a User or Group Permission matches the System Level default, any changes to the System default will also apply to the lower level Permissions. Care must be taken when changing higher level Permissions or unintended consequences may be experienced.
