To be able to view any particular module, or have rights for particular tasks, your Users will need specific Security Roles.
Introduction
When a Security Role is needed for a particular task, and the User does not yet have that access, an error message with the name of the Security Role required for that task appears at the top right of the screen:
If the User does not have access to assign Security Roles, they can send a screenshot to their Administrator to show them the area they need access for.
If you have the required access to add Security Roles to Users, you may update the Security Roles for that User as required.
You can access assigning Security Roles from the User or from the Security Role.
Please check with your system administrator whether you should be updating the Security Group or the User to assign the required Security Role for this specific task.
Lentune recommends that you assign Security Roles to Security Groups, and then assign the Security Group to the User. This allows you to maintain your security system more efficiently, as updating the Security Group will update the credentials for all Users who have the Group assigned.
Please refer to Security Groups vs Security Roles for more information.

NOTE: If a Security Role has been inherited from an Access Persona, a Security Group or from the fact that the User is Staff or a Time Sheet User then the Security Role will show that it has been inherited, and may not be removable from the Security tab for the User. In that case the Access Persona or Security Group must be removed, or the User must be flagged as inactive for Staff or Time Sheet User. The inherited status will be shown against any Security Role that has been inherited.
