Security Tab

Use the Security tab to control user access to the various tabs and tools in Project Analyzer. The values available for each attribute vary by function (column). These settings are configured using one of the following permission sets:

None/Disabled
Read Only
Allow Edit
No Access
Allow Access

To hide functionality in Project Analyzer, set the value to None/Disabled or No Access.

Each configurable setting is explained in detail below. Project Analyzer supports security groups from the accounting system to make administration easier. Configure security for Project Analyzer users using the security groups or existing security roles in the accounting system to assign permissions. Permissions can also be applied directly to an individual user as needed. Both choices are listed in the User or Group drop-down menu in each row. The first two rows are static and serve as default settings.

If a user cannot be matched to an account or group, the Analyzer Default permissions will apply.

To access this tab

In Project Analyzer, click File and select System Configuration. On the System Configuration window, click the Security tab.

Permissions

Each permission setting is listed below with its available options. Many of the settings have the same permission options, making it easier for administrators to review permissions.

In some cases, permissions may be superceded. For example, read-only tabs and tabs that require the display of dollar amounts are an exception to the any permissions setting. Additionally, disabling the display of dollars in Project Analyzer via the Show Dollars tool will not have an impact on those tabs.

The column order of the permission settings may be changed via drag and drop of the column labels. The list below is shown in the default order.
