Application security roles

Application security roles are used to control the level of access that staff have to the various screens and HelpMaster modules.  Each staff member must belong to one and only one application security role.  Although application security roles do contain some job related settings, the main mechanism for restricting job access and workflow is determined via a job security role / skillgroup combination.

The security system within HelpMaster allows the system administrator to define any number of application security roles to which staff members of HelpMaster are associated with. Each application security role includes details about whether a particular screen or function can be accessed. 

Please note that the security settings do not apply to the system administrator. The administrator is able to use and modify any screen and access all system functionality.
