User groups
Security permissions are controlled at the user group level. When you define users, you must assign the user to a group of users who require similar security access to SunSystems.
For example, you could define one user group for all accounts receivable clerks. User groups are defined by clicking the Groups tab, selecting the group named SunSystems Users, then clicking the icon in the toolbar.
User groups can be associated with:
- Menu files to control which tools, functions and forms are available.
- Data Access Groups to control access to individual records.
- Miscellaneous Permissions to control access to specific types of data such as open periods, open dates and account types.
- Form Permissions to control which actions are available.
