Authorization Points

An operator's access to specific modules, menu options, and procedures can be limited in SA Operator Setup. Authorization points provide an additional level of security that can further limit an operator’s access to specific fields, windows, or functions within the areas where security has been granted.

When an operator encounters one of these authorization points, the user’s level of authorization is checked to verify that the operator is authorized to continue. If the operator is not authorized to perform the task, another team member or supervisor who has grant authority can allow the unauthorized operator to proceed.
