To access the Group Rights screen, from the main menu select Security>Group Rights
Group Rights authorize users of a particular group to perform various actions on different screens of the application. Here rights are assigned to the entire group meaning any user-defined under a particular group will have the rights assigned to that group.
Do remember that based on these rights the screens will become enabled or disabled. Thus before withholding rights or assigning rights, you should be sure about the functions that you want the users of a particular group to perform.
The following is the list of right based functions on each screen:
View: Viewing rights give the group users the right to view a particular screen.
Save: This gives the group users the right to save a record on a particular screen.
Update: This gives the group users the right to update a record on a particular screen.
Delete: This gives the group users the right to delete a record from a particular screen.
Print: This gives the group users the right to print a record from a particular screen.
Export: This gives the group users the right to export a record from a particular screen.
Other: Apart from the above rights there are some extra rights that can be assigned or withheld.
Assigning All Rights to a Group in one Step
If you want to assign all available rights on all screens to a particular group, you can do so by using the following steps:
Select User group from the drop-down menu.
From the checkboxes listed below the user group field, mark the ones according to the rights you want to assign.
