Configuring Module User Access

You can set permissions for user groups or individual user accounts to tailor a user's experience with the Admissions module. This is especially useful for limiting what users from a user group or individual users can access. For example, you can set the permissions for your admissions officer full access to the Enquiries tab for them to add new applicants to iSAMS.

Use the Admissions Module Security option to view the security settings that have been applied to user groups and individual user accounts. You can also add module security settings to additional users or user groups, as required.

Choose to:

• View and add module security settings to users or user groups.
• Edit existing security settings.
• Delete security settings for users or user groups.
