Security Role Permissions

This Role Permissions menu can be accessed from Security Roles in the window on the Permissions field for each Role and can be used to define which options should be accessible for that operator Role.
The Role can then be assigned to each operator in Operators or in the Associated Operators window in the Security Roles table.

The Operator Security Report can be used to export a list of all operators with their security roles and their current SRM access information to a spreadsheet.

Note: When the external 'Authentication' feature is enabled in the Texada Support Parameters this "Security Roles" processing is disabled and the operator is redirected the to the User Management Menu on Texada Web.

The options include:

System Configuration

The five options in this list match the five tabs on the Configure System Settings.
Window on each option to access the Role Permissions where the items listed correspond to the items on each of the five tabs on Configure System Settings.

Check the appropriate Permit box for each item if this role should include access to that table, or should be allowed this functional capability.
The five System Configuration tabs include:

• Accounting
  This window controls the operator's access to the utilities and tables on the Accounting tab of Configure System Settings.
  Additional functional security impacted by flags in this window include:
  • Accounting -> Rental Class:
    - also controls the operator's ability to add a new Rental Product Class when adding a product on-the-fly
  • Accounting ->Sales Class:
    - also controls the operator's ability to add a new Sales Product Class when adding a product on-the-fly

• Operations

  Additional functional security impacted by flags in this window include:

  • Operations -> Groups:
    - also controls the operator's ability to add a new Group when adding a product on-the-fly

  • Operations -> Special Rate Codes:

    • when checked always allows full access to all Special Rate Codes tables for all divisions.
      
    • when unchecked but 'Operations -> Division Special Rates' is checked, the operator can only modify Special Rates for his Division.
      The Special Rates record for the operator's Division as set in Division Parameters, is displayed at the top of the Special Rate Codes table.
      The operator can still view all Special Rates and the associated drill down windows, but can only modify the Special Rates for his Division, and only if there is a quantity On Hand for the product at his Location as defined in the Operators.
    • when unchecked and 'Operations -> Division Special Rates' is also unchecked the operator has no access to the Special Rates table.

      Note: This Special Rate and Divisional Special Rates security also applies to rate access in the Product/Group Special Rates window of the Rental Inventory.

General Settings

These options provide the ability to control processing actions by Role.
A window is provided to set the Permit flag on the General Settings options as outlined in Role Permissions, including:

• Deletions:
  These settings controls the operator's ability to delete or reverse documents, emails and records
  If the operator does not have permission, the DELETE button will be disabled in the corresponding program.

  Delete Invoice Security
  There are 2 controls on deleting invoices in this configuration access window:

  1. 'Invoices' - when checked activates the DELETE button in the Miscellaneous Invoices and other Invoice headers screens, but restricts the Delete action to only Delete invoices with no Source document such as a Work Order, Contract or Sales Order, as outlined in Delete a Single Invoice.

  2. 'Invoices With Source' - which is a "super-user" delete action that should only be activated for administrators or the manager and should only be used in emergency situations, because when checked the Delete action will delete an Invoice even though there is an associated Source document.
     When a billing invoice with a source document is deleted, a Document Comment is written to the source document to note the deleted invoice but with a default Print flag of NO.

• Reset Flags:
  Generally these settings control whether the operator has the ability to reset posting control or "in-use" flags that are causing locking issues.
  Refer to Posting Control Information for more information on record locking.

  The two levels of operator role security include:

  • RESPECTING SERVICE FLAG - this role permission requires the Allow Edit of Automatic Services flag in the specific Service Code to also be checked before the operator has the ability to change the amount for that service on the document.
  • IGNORING SERVICE FLAG - this role permission always allows the operator to change the Delivery/Pickup - Type D service code amount on the document, regardless of the Allow Edit of Automatic Services flag set on the specific Service Code.

• Role Parameters:
  These settings provide restrictions and security on various permission controls including:

  Max Discount% Over-ride Restriction by Operator Role:

  These Sales and Rentals values are checked when an operator over-rides a discount percentage on a rental document, a counter invoice, cycle billing, or rental return.
  Only operators assigned a security role with high enough discount percent have permission to over-ride.

  Example:
  The document defaults to the customer/site/special rate discounts on the header and on the individual product details regardless of the operator role defined maximums allowed.
  The role maximum is only checked if the operator attempts to over-ride the header or product detail discount, and applies as follows:

  • If the operator has a high enough maximum, then the over-ride is allowed.
  • If the operator does not have a high enough maximum to increase the discount, the Discount Exceeds your Allowable Limit warning is triggered with the option to:
    • abort the over-ride so that the discount reverts to the previous value (even if the previous value exceeds operator maximum).
    • open the Discount Authorization window for over-ride approval from an operator with a higher maximum%
  • If the operator does not have a high enough maximum, and lowers the discount then the discount cannot be returned to the pervious value if it is above the operator's maximum, and a supervisor with a higher over-ride level needs to make the adjustment.

  MAXIMUM DISCOUNT% - SALES

  Leave this field blank if no sales discount cap applies to operators with this role, or enter the maximum discount percent that operators in this role can give when a sales discount is over-ridden on a document.

  
  MAXIMUM DISCOUNT% - RENTALS

  Leave this field blank if no rental discount cap applies to operators with this role, or enter the maximum discount percent that operators in this role can give when a rental discount is over-ridden on a document.

  
  PO APPROVAL LIMIT

  This field is only available when the “Enable PO Approval” feature is activated in the Company Inventory Parameters so that a dollar limit per Purchase Orders can be defined for operators in this role.
  When the purchasing employee exceeds his limit a notice is automatically sent to the defined "Approver" who must approve the PO if it is within the "Approver's" own limit.
  If that "Approver's" limit is not high enough, then his "Approver" or any "Approver" with an allowable limit would need to approve the P.O. moving up to the next link in the approval chain.

  Note: Any Purchase Orders that already exist when this feature is activated are exempt from this approval limit requirement, until they are edited at which stage they are considered for the PO Approval limits.

  Leave this field blank if operators in this role, should have a zero dollar limit and every P.O. requires approval, or enter a dollar amount as the limit per P.O. for these operators.
  An unlimited role can be set to $999,999,999

  This approval processing applies across divisions so if an Approver has multiple Roles or a different Role at a different Division, it is the highest limit across roles that is respected at any division.

  TEXADA WEB IN-YARD RETURNS

  This parameter controls whether the operators in this role are able to log the Contract Returns on the Texada Web mobile unit when activated in Logistics.
  

  Note: This role flag does not impact access to the Rental Return Worksheet where return product lists generated for In Yard Return by Texada Web are processed.

  
  EXTERNAL WO EMPLOYEE ACCESS

  When a Work Order is locked by an API such as Texada Web because an employee has been assigned for service work, this flag gives the SRM operator the ability to delete an employee from the "External WO Employee" list as outlined in Active Employees on this Work Order, and/or to release the external lock on the Work Order.
  If the operator does not have permission then a warning is generated in the Work Order that the W.O. is in use and the W.O. remains locked.

  
  CANCEL OPEN TEXADA WEB DEL/PICK TICKETS
