2. Allow or Restrict Employee Access to Documents

You can allow or restrict employees access to documents, by user role, through the Permissions section of the Category.

Navigate to: System Setup >> Security Settings >> Document Categories, select on a category and check the permissions for each role.

The Permissions that can be set are:

  • Read - Can read documents in that category, subject to the Filter.
  • Insert - Can add documents to that category, subject to the Filter.
  • Update - Can rename any documents in that category, subject to the Filter.
  • Delete - Can remove documents in that category, subject to the Filter.

Note:

  • The Documents screen needs to be made available from the Security Role Permissions screen for employees to see documents.
  • If you select Insert, Update or Delete permissions, Read will also be selected automatically as you can't use the other permissions without the permission to Read documents.
