User Access by User

User Access by User lists the modules one user has access to, with the user’s access rights in each, so you can view and edit them in one place. You open it from the Users module, which only Admin users can open (see Understanding User Access and Settings).

Navigation Example

Main Menu > Setup > Users > Actions (button) > View/Edit User Access by User

Info

This interface is similar to the one reached by right-clicking a username and selecting View/Edit User Access.

Access to view the records. The options are:

  • 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 entries.

However, Copy Rules supersede this permission.

Users with permission to copy a service ticket or transaction may create new entries that way.

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.
