Modifying CAT Admin Permissions

When you add a new user and assign CAT Staff permissions (see Adding a User for details), the CAT Admin Permissions screen displays automatically when you submit the new user record. When you click the CAT Admin Permissions link on the Edit User Accounts screen (see Editing User Accounts for details), the CAT Admin Permissions screen displays. The CAT Admin Permissions screen shows the CAT Administration permissions currently granted to the user. You may grant or deny additional permissions as desired.

To modify CAT Admin Permissions:

The CAT Admin Permissions screen shows a listing of all submenus, features and functions available through the CAT Admin menu. Click the Expand Submenu icon next to a submenu name to view a hierarchical listing of all features and functions available within the associated submenu. (Click the Collapse Submenu icon next to the submenu name to close the listing.)
- Permissions granted to the current user are indicated by a checkmark next to the permission name.
Use the checkboxes associated with each feature and function to grant or deny access to the function.
- A checkmark indicates the user is granted the associated permission.
- An empty checkbox indicates the user is denied the associated permission.
- Clicking a checkbox repeatedly will toggle it on and off.
NOTE: To grant a user access to a feature or function within a given submenu, you must select the checkbox for the associated submenu. When you select the checkbox for a submenu, the checkboxes for all features and functions within the submenu are selected automatically.
