Security

User Management & Permissions

The System Administrator is the person responsible for maintaining the security of EBMS. Only a user with administrator permissions can access the User Management window. The Administrator is able to switch between different users and make the necessary changes to permissions. Assigning a username with access other than Administrator is also an effective way to restrict users from advanced functions that can be very dangerous for an inexperienced user.

Permission Settings

The Permissions settings are as follows:

Administrator
• Allows access to all data as well as user and password security changes set in User Management
