Authorization level privileges
Authorization levels let you precisely control the iMIS Desktop privileges of individual users. A standard type of privilege (such as Run reports) is associated with each level, but specific windows and fields also become available at certain levels. Note that Casual records are limited: you cannot assign them authorization level 8 or the SysAdmin role.
All authorization level privileges are additive. For example, authorization level 3 automatically gets all of the privileges available at levels 0, 1, and 2.
NoteAccess Keywords (see Access Keywords in Customers) defined in various areas of iMIS constrain these authorizations. For example, one user's authorization level enables her to edit a particular window, but one sensitive field on that window might be read-only or even hidden from her unless her record also contains the specific access keyword that exposes it.
These are the general privileges associated with each authorization level:
| Level | Common privilege type |
|---|---|
| 0 | No access |
| 1 | View information |
| 2 | Run reports |
| 3 | Create and edit records |
| 4 | Delete records |
| 5 | Maintain tables |
| 6 | Change reports |
| 8 | Configure features - SysAdmin (see Authorization levels: Desktop views) |
