Assigning Global Security Profiles

Every user is assigned a global security profile by default. You can change a global security profile for every user to control user access to application-wide information.

To change the user's global security profile:

Click Administration.
On the Administration navigation bar, click User Administration.
On the User Administration page, click Users.
On the Users page:
1. Select a user.
2. In the Global Security Profile field, double-click and choose a profile from the list.
  Note: The assigned Global Security Profile will determine the location of the user in the Users tab hierarchy if they are grouped by the global profile.
3. Click Save.

Tips

You must have the appropriate privileges to assign security attributes.
An Admin Superuser is a global security profile that gives a user read/write privileges for application-wide information and features. The Admin Superuser always has access to all resources. If resource security is enabled, resource access settings are not applicable. To make global information read-only for a user, choose No Global Privileges. The No Global Privileges profile provides read-only access to all global data except costs and secure codes.
