SYS: Security Groups By Module

Overview

Security Groups are used to grant and manage user permissions. Each group allows different levels of access. Using SYS ALL is a quick way of giving full privileges to those who will serve as the top system administrator. However, SYS ALL and a few other special groups in WinTeam should be protected and access should be limited to very few people.

  • SYS ALL - This group, if assigned, enables the User Name to do ALMOST EVERYTHING in the system. There is one privilege that is NOT given with SYS ALL:
    • The PS Change Batch security group. To enable this, the PS Change Batch group would need to be added to the User's Security.

SYS ALL allows the User into ALL programs including all Drill Down ability, the ability to Un-post Journals in the General Ledger Log, change Tax Codes in the Taxes and Insurance screen, and manage User and Group Security. These privileges should be given carefully. Normally, only one or two people in the entire company should be a member of this group.

Also, printing an authorized Signature in Payroll and Accounts Payable checks is controlled by the screen feature of Can Print Signature of the PAY Print Checks screen, and AP Print Checks screen.
