This is where a Normal employee's access to different data areas in Theatre Manager is set up. An employee can have various combinations of four (4) levels of access to particular areas of data within Theatre Manager. These level's are View, Insert, Edit and Delete. Uncheck all boxes next to an item to completely disable access (or just uncheck View, since no access to View precludes access to any of the other three actions).

Master users and Outlet Admins cannot access this tab for their own user id because changing any permissions would cause them to lose Master user or outlet admin status.

They can, however, affect settings in these tabs for other users.

Use the filter function to highlight words of interest within the list

The four levels of access are:
View The employee can only look at the information in a record
Insert The employee can add new information and change it as long as the window is open.
Edit The employee can edit information in the specified window.
Delete The Employee can delete the record.
