User Groups and Permissions

User Groups allow you to grant or deny access to SI Users via permissions. As an SI Administrator, you can control what access your Users have to features of SI. In a multi-user environment, it is often necessary to limit access to certain features within SI. For example, you may not want some users to view pricing in the Catalog, or you might not want to grant QuickBooks transfer access to some users.

The Manage User Groups form allows you to create User Groups and set permissions for each group.There are two default User Groups: Administrator and Standard User. The Administrator User Group has full access and is not editable.
