Maintaining Application Permits

An Application Permit is used to determine the level of access Users have to the internal (main menu) applications.
A similar Permit regime exists for External (reporting, interface, etc. type) Applications and Queries.
An Application Permit is based on a combination of Division Group and Role.
Access levels can be set to:
- No Access: Menus calling the application will be inhibited (greyed out).
- View only: The application can be opened but Add, Change, Delete operations will be prohibited.
- Maintain: The application can be opened and combinations of Add, Change, Delete operations will be allowed.
Application Permit settings can be overridden by the Role parameter settings - see: Bypass Permits:
