Operator Permissions
Muti-Account Systems: Operator permissions are associated with account folders--allowing different types of
permissions to be assigned to groups of accounts. Accounts and account folders need to have been set up
appropriately. For details, refer to "Working with Accounts and Folders" (near the beginning of the Configuration
section). Client/Server Systems
: Permissions can also be assigned for each specific client workstation.
In this case, each operator will be able to use only the features that are assigned to them AND allowed for their
workstation. See
: "Client/Server Access and Permissions".
