Security Role Permissions

An alternative to creating a unique set of permissions for each user (as described in the on-line help for program System Admin > Users > User Maintenance) is to use this program to add and maintain 'roles' and to set up the permissions for each of these roles.

Roles can then be assigned to users through program System Admin > Users > Assign Security Roles.

An example of roles might be:

BUS           Business Manager

FEE            Accounts Receivable

PAY            Accounts Payable

STU            Student Administration

FUN            Fundraising.

To create a new role click the 'New' button and enter a meaningful code and description.

All TASS.web modules are then displayed in a collapsible panel format.

For each security point, there are columns labelled 'View', 'Add', 'Edit' and 'Delete' (displayed on the right-hand side of the screen). We will refer to these as 'permissions'.

You can individually select each security point/permission combination for this Role.

As a quicker alternative use the 'Fill Down' arrows to quickly assign the permission for this role for all modules or within a single module.

Note the difference between the fill down icon for all modules and the fill down icon for a single module.

Click 'Save' to commit this Role's profile to the database.

The next step is then to assign individual users into Roles. Use System Admin > Users > Assign Security Roles.

The TASS.web Menu will retrieve menus and permissions for the logged on user on every refresh/loading of a new program.

The logged in TASS.web user will not need to log out and log back in to have new permissions applied. This includes new and removed permissions.
