Security Profiles are created to grant or deny users access to specific modules of information and functionality within the system. The administrator may establish security profiles by individual, by group or by specific job function. Access rights can be granted by selecting “All” or “None” (i.e., no access) for each module. The main modules are shown as tab pages along the top of the screen (e.g., Accounts, Calendar, Activities, etc.) Premium features and plug-ins can also typically be activated or deactivated for a group of users by updating their Security Profile.
