Security Settings

The Security Settings table contains:

  • PERMISSIONS - Single items which allow access to / performance of a single task.

  • ACTIVITIES - Groups of permissions which allow access to / performance of a group of related tasks.

  • ROLES - Groups of activities which allow access to / performance of all tasks required for that role.

    • Tip:

    We recommend applying permissions to an activity (rather than users or roles) so that when new permissions are added to Cris, you only need to edit one item.

There are security settings to allow access to each module. To amend a user's roles and activities, see Cris users.
