Helpful Notes
- The Request Tracker Module is an exception to normal permissions. Since it uses a licensing system you must give a user permission to the module/category, then you will click on the user's tab in that module to add the user as an active user.
- Note: Only users who have permission will show up in the user list for the module.
- If you go to a module and click on the Permissions tab at the top of the page, be very careful. Typically, you do not want to make changes here because that will give the user group permission to all categories in the module. Similarly, Save and Push Down will overwrite all of the permissions for the categories in the module and is irreversible. If you are ever in doubt about using save and push down, do not use it or contact us.
- Permission levels in the Agenda Center also differ slightly because of the workflows. In this module, publishers can publish items but cannot publish agendas. You must be at least an owner to publish an agenda in the Agenda Center Module.
