Overview
Staff members need to be assigned to a group of user rights to filter their access to functionality within the system.
This restricts access to settings and managing staff records, for example, to just staff that need that functionality.
Location
Assigning User Rights to staff can be done from Users - Staff Members, or by clicking here.
Note that if the Users menu is not visible, rights will not have been given to see that area.
Instructions
In the Staff Members area, click the pencil next to the member of staff to change user rights for.
Scroll down to the User Rights information as below.
Click the User Rights drop down list and select the user rights to assign.
Click the red Save button to save any change.
