How do I give or remove permissions (privileges) for a role or a report?
Short answer
Open Assign Transaction Privileges (screens, buttons) or Assign Report Privileges (reports), click the role name, tick or clear boxes and Save. The user must log in again.
Steps
- Open Property Setup > User & Access and choose Assign Transaction Privileges (addresses
#/setup/transaction-privilegesand#/setup/report-privileges). - Click the Role Name (clickable only with Access Role Configuration).
- Use Search privileges... to find the item, for example "discount", "cancel reservation", "undo", "block room", "flash view".
- Tick to allow, clear to remove. Report modules (Daily, Monthly, Ledger...) are on the report screen.
- Click Save.
Check the result
Role updated Successfully. Privileges load at login, so ask the user to sign out and in. Missing menus and greyed buttons return.
Common problems
- Not sure which privilege: look up the button in the privilege reference. Some privileges are stored but not checked by any screen in this version.
- The Owner role always has every right.
- Menu is hidden for another reason: the feature is off in Feature Setting or the licence is missing (licences).
- Messages: Configuration messages.
