System Security

PCS security is based on a user role method. A user role is a collection of permissions that tell the system which features a user has access to and whether or not the user is allowed to add, edit, or delete data. The system supports the following PCS installed user roles:

SysAdmin
User
Read Only

The SysAdmin user role has full control of all PCS features and functions. The SysAdmin assigns the SysAdmin, User, or Read Only user role to all other users of the PCS system. User role assignments are set up in User Management (Tools > User Management).

The following table identifies system permissions included with the User and Read Only user roles. Information is organized based on PCS menu and menu functions, then by permission level and user role.
