User Roles and Work Order Permissions
User Roles determine the options individual Users have to access and work with items in GLOBAL. User Roles are combined to create User Groups, as seen in User Groups. User Roles can be added to existing User Groups or combined to create new User Groups. Individual User Roles can also be assigned to users to allow them to access and work with items in GLOBAL not available to the User Group the user is assigned to. Only Administrators can make changes to User Role and User Group assignments. When changes are made to User Role assignments, the affected user(s) must log out of GLOBAL and log back in for the change to take effect.
Some User Roles also allow users to access and work with items on Work Orders, as described in the Work Orders Permission section below.
The following information describes how each User Role interacts with the items available on the left menu in GLOBAL.
