Authority Groups

Authorities (which grant access to parts of the application) are grouped together in authority groups on this page. These groups are then assigned to application roles on the Role Authorities page.

A series of authority groups and their authorities are predefined by default, but you can modify them as required. Note that you can add or delete authority groups, however you cannot change the name of a group once it has been created.

The following authority groups are available by default:

GROUP_EDIT: Access to create and modify submissions.
GROUP_READ: Access to view submissions and expenses.
GROUP_EXPENSE: Access to create and modify (if enabled) expenses.
GROUP_REPORT: Access to reports.
GROUP_WORKFLOW_TRANSITION: Access to transition the submission workflow.
ADMIN: Access to the Administration section.

To configure authority groups:

Click Application Menu > Administration > Authority Groups.
To create a new authority group, click and enter the Name and Description in the pop-up.
Add authorities to an authority group by clicking > Attach Authority and selecting the required authorities.
Remove authorities from an authority group by clicking > Detach Authority and select the authorities that are no longer required.
Modify the description of an existing authority group by clicking > Edit and entering the description.
To delete a specific authority, click > Delete for the required row.
