(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.
