Security

Use these settings to configure set of privileges (roles) that are assigned to users in ENPS.

This table is used to define a set of global privilege levels, which are assigned to individual users for one or more program folders. A user may have one security level / set of privileges in one folder, and a completely different security level in another.

ENPS comes with Pre-Set Security Levels, such as Assistant and Editor. Additional security levels can also be created.

Settings

Some of the settings are a dropdown list of security levels. These levels are defined as:

Security Level	Description
None	No access to the item.
Read Approved	Read approved items only; cannot change or delete items.
Read Any	Read approved and unapproved items; cannot change or delete items.
Read/Write	Read, create, delete and change items.

For example, the Scripts setting set to Read Approved means that users assigned to this role can read approved scripts, but cannot change or delete them.

ID	Unique identifier. Spaces are not allowed.
Description	Name of the security role.
