Control User Access Rights to VIEW Features
As an administrator, you can choose which VIEW features to grant to other VIEW administrators and supervisors in your organisation and sub-organisations. You do this by first creating a profile of features and then assigning the profile to selected administrators and supervisors.
If your system was deployed on or after February 2022, you must assign user rights from within storm STUDIO. See the storm STUDIO User Guide for details.
If your system was deployed before this date, your system might be configured to allow you to assign user rights from VIEW and NOT from STUDIO. If this is the case, the Edit Users menu option is visible when you click the VIEW settings button and you must follow the procedure in this topic to control user rights. If the menu option is not available, your system is not configured to allow you to control access rights in VIEW and you must use STUDIO instead.
Note: the ability to assign user rights from VIEW is expected to be phased out over time.
The effect of each feature on the VIEW graphical user interface is described in Appendix C: VIEW User Rights.
