Modifying Statistics Permissions
When you add a new user and assign Statistics permissions (see Adding a User for details), or when you click the Statistics Permissions link on the Edit User Accounts screen (see Editing User Accounts for details), the Statistics Permissions screen displays. The Statistics Permissions screen shows the Statistics permissions currently granted to the user. You may grant or deny additional permissions as desired.
To modify Statistics permissions:
- The Statistics Permissions screen shows a listing of all submenus, features and functions available through the Statistics 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 submenu, 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.
