Customisation Options

User permission settings can two very detailed permission areas: Item view fragment permissions and financial reporting permissions.

Item View Fragment Permissions

Item view fragment permissions allow management to control specific information tabs or fields within item settings versus simply allowing or denying access to all item setting information. This means management could allow access to description information fields of an item on a read and/or write level, however deny access to pricing information fields on a read and/or write level.

Financial Reporting Permissions

Specific permission settings are available for individual financial reports allowing management to control which financial reports users have read (view) access to. This means management can allow access to financial reports, and only access to a single report versus all financial reporting information.
