Locations / Reports Tab – Access Groups
The Locations / Reports tab allows you to define limitations to the records that can be accessed by members of this access group. The limitations to access that are defined on this page become default values for labor resources or requesters who become assigned to this access group.
The access rights that can be defined on this page are described in the Access tab – Requesters article.
Accessible Locations for Access Group
Accessible locations can be defined for the Service Requester and MRO / Technician Work Center.
The Accessible Locations (Service Requester) - Defaults list allows you to define which locations are available to members of this access group when using the Service Requester.
-
If no locations are defined, users can only enter general information about the item / location requiring service.
-
If locations are defined, users can select the specific location and asset.
The Accessible Locations (MRO Work Center) - Defaults list allows you to define which locations are available to members of this access group when using the MRO or Technician Work Center.
-
If no locations are defined, users have access to ALL LOCATIONS.
-
If locations are defined, users will only see those locations in the Asset Hierarchy.
When a labor resource or requester is assigned to this access group, the accessible locations listed on this page are populated onto their record by default. This happens when a new member is created and when an existing member is newly assigned to the access group.
If changes are made to this list, they do not affect members who were already assigned to this group. The changes will only affect members newly assigned to the access group.
