User Account Rights

eTapestry security allows Administrator users to set up security groups with rights to perform certain actions within the database. Once a security group has been created, the Administrator can assign accounts with the user role to the group, thus granting specific rights to each assigned user. For example, an Administrator can create a group with very limited data entry and reporting rights and assign all volunteers to that group. Likewise, the Administrator can create a group that has data entry and reporting rights, but no rights to update the defined fields, and assign all of the individuals who enter gifts to that group.

You create security groups from Management, Security Groups. You assign users to these security groups on the Rights page for user accounts. You can also disable users on the Rights page when you longer want a user to have access to your database.

To view or edit your own user account rights, go to Management, My User. Next, click Rights. To access the Rights page for another user account, open the record, and click Rights.
