Admin Functions are assigned to Security Groups to control specific processes within certain menu options.
Some of these Admin Functions set levels of security in their own right. For example:
- Limit to Job Manger. In the Job Report Selection screen the Job Manager Lookup/Select will be disabled, thus REPORTING will be restricted to the Jobs to which the LOGGED ON USER is assigned as the Job Manager. In the Job Enquiry screen: DISABLES the JOB Selector
...
- No Change to ??? Changes to some Masterfiles are restricted.
