Terms and Concepts

Three Types of Users

Traverse security is based on three types of users:

• Department Users - These users only have access to data in their own department. They cannot set their own permissions.
• Admin Group Users - These administrators have access to data in one or more specified departments. Admin group users manage the permissions of department users.
• SuperUsers - A built-in admin group of users that always have access to all data in all departments. SuperUsers manage the permissions of other admin groups.

Four Types of Security Records

Admin group users are enabled as administrators of one or more departments by creating and linking four types of security records. The arrows indicate the links you are required to make.

Admin Groups Admin Classes User Classes Departments

• The Administration > Departments page shows you a summary of your security configuration.
• For example, in the image below, each admin class is linked to multiple user classes:
  • The users of MSP Group A have administrator access to two departments: Customer C and Customer D.
  • The users of MSP Group B have administrator access to two departments: Customer E and Customer F.

IMPORTANT: The admin class to user class relationship determines which departments are administered by which admin group.
