User Access by Module

User Access by Module lists the users who have access to one module, with their access rights, so you can view and edit them for all users at once. You open it from the Users module, which only Admin users can open (see Understanding User Access and Settings). User access can also be set from a module’s own Menu (button) (see User Access Tutorials).

Fields Explained

Info

Fields marked in blue (✎) can be edited.

Field Description
Field Chooser (*)Add or remove columns.
IDA system-generated number for the entry.
User IDThe user’s system-generated number.
UserThe user’s name.
Entity

Hidden for modules that do not use entities (for example, contacts, items and calendars).

Links users to all or specific entities: select All or an entity. Cancelled entities are not listed.

For a Transaction Type or Service Type, the list and the column caption follow the type’s Enable Entities setting:

  • Registered: Registered entities, with the caption Entity.
  • Branch: Branches, with the caption Branch.
  • Till (PoS): Tills, with the caption Till (PoS).

Note: When the Enable Entities setting of a Transaction Type or Service Type is changed, this field is reset to All for every user of that type, because the previous entity is no longer the right kind.

View

Access to view the records. The options are:

  • None: If this option is selected, the other settings are void.
  • All: The user may view all the records.
  • Own (User): The user may view the records they created.
  • Own (Rep): The user may view the records where they are the assigned rep (transactions and services).
  • Own (Resource): The user may view the records where they are the resource (Timekeeping only; the Resource filter is locked to the user).
SetupUsers have access to the settings.
New

Users may create new transactions.

However, copying transactions has its own rules.

Users without New permission but with copy permission can create new transactions by copying existing transactions.

Edit

Users may edit existing transactions.

Users with rights to create transactions must also have edit access.

DeleteUsers may delete existing transactions.
Hide Costs

Transaction Types only: the column is hidden for other modules.

If checked, the cost, markup and profit columns are hidden from the user in the transaction list and on the items. Unchecked by default. The hidden columns are:

  • Fixed Cost
  • Unit Cost
  • Total Cost
  • MU%
  • Markup
  • Profit
  • GM%

Applies only to Transaction Types with the Pricing setting Sell Price or Sell Price (Any Currency).

  • Note: Hide Costs replaces the user setting Hide Cost/Profit, which the upgrade to Ver 2.5.0 removes. Set Hide Costs for each Transaction Type instead.
Edit Prices

Transaction Types only: the column is hidden for other modules.

If checked (the default), the user can change the prices on the transaction’s items. If unchecked, these item columns are not editable and their headers are no longer blue:

  • Fixed Price
  • Unit Price
  • Adj%
  • MU%
  • VAT Type
  • Inc
  • Unit (Select)

If unchecked, Adj%, MU% and VAT are also removed from the items’ Batch Update.

Hide Costs and Edit Prices are copied with the rest of the user access when you copy users or access, and when a Transaction Type is copied.

CreatedThe date on which the entry was created.
UpdatedThe date on which the entry was updated.
Updated ByThe user who updated the entry.
