When you create new users for new or current Parishes, you need to assign them access rights to either allow or restrict usage to certain pages or tasks.

Although you can create individual access rights per user, it's much better to create a user access template and then allocate the user to it.  This helps by standardising the access for certain tasks and users and means that any changes that are made are updated automatically with the user the next time they login.

Access levels can be created on most pages and can range from "No Access", "View Only" through to full "Delete, Add & Modify" access.  Typical templates that can be created are:

• OPAS Standard User
• OPAS View Only
• GA Standard User
• GA View Only

Create a New Template

1. Login as usual and navigate to Users tab on the 2nd layer of tabs.
2. In the new navigation menu, click on User Templates.
3. A current list of all currently set up templates are shown for information.




4. If you wish want to create a new template (rather than edit a currently set up one), click on Add a new Template.
5. Using the matrix, with each row representing an area of the system; click on the preferred access level for the chosen template.




 

6. Once completed, give the template a name and click on Submit

How to Allocate to a User

1. Navigate to the new or existing Parish you wish to create a new user.
2. Click on User Set Up from the 2nd layer of navigational tabs.
3. Click on Add a New User (to create a new user, or click on current user to assign a new template)
4. Using the drop down menu named Access Level select the appropriate template and complete all other required sections


 

5. After saving the settings, the next time the user logs in the new access level will start
