Introduction

'Client permissions' allow blocking (or granting)
access to individual features for all operators
at each client workstation.

Tip: For each specific item, click once to allow viewing
only (magnifying glass), or click again to allow viewing
and editing (pencil). If you click a 3rd time, this will
clear the selection.
Note: Client (PC) permissions work in conjunction with
permissions assigned to each specific operator. (i.e., a
feature will be available only if allowed for the PC and
the specific operator.

If you Need to Delete a Permission-Set

select [Management] in the 'tree', open the

PC

 Scan through the list, checking for the specific

permission-set in the list;

 Assign a different permission-set to any

operators as required.

Now, select Client Permissions

from your

MyTools bar, or select

[Management]

in the

'tree', open PC Access, and select Client
Permissions. Then, use the

Grid

/

Form

toolbar-button to select your preferred view-
mode.

Forms view: Details for one item at a time;
Grid View: All defined items in a list.

In 'Forms' view, select the desired permission-
set at the bottom of the window. Then, right-
click a blank portion of the screen and select

Delete

the list, and select Delete. When asked to confirm,
