Next Steps
After you have configured the settings you can do either of 2 options:
1. Select Save Changes to create the group
2. Scroll back to the top and assign the permissions to specific users then select Save Changes
ALL - This will assign this user to this group regardless of where they access the software.
INT - This option will give the user this group when they have logged in from a specified/ approved IP address that is set up in Facility Preferences (In most cases this is where you would assign a user more permissions)
EXT - This option gives the user this group when they login from any IP other than your preferred IP address (in most cases you will limit a user's access when they login from an external IP address.
You can also access this screen from the Users page. When you open a user or create a new user you assign them to a group
Multiple groups can be assigned to a member. Example: one for INT and one for EXT. If 2 groups are assigned for the same setting (assign user Joe to ADMIN and POS when logging in from and External IP) the higher security settings will take effect.
Static IP Address - Advanced Security
ALLOWED IP
Party Center Software uses IP based security. In order to properly restrict access, you will need to set up a static IP address at your location. This can be done by calling your Internet Service Provider. You need to enter that IP address in this dialog box on the Facility Info page.
You may enter as many IP addresses as you would like, just separate them with a comma. The Allowed IP Addresses are your way of specifying that the user is logging into the system from within your physical location. If you do not specify a static IP address the user will be granted full access from anywhere they log in
The above INT and EXT settings are based on the system understanding what is an INTERNAL or approved IP address. That is one that is ONLY found within your facility. An EXT or EXTERNAL IP address is basically any address that is NOT the approved, allowed or internal IP address(es)
Restricted User Modifications
Restricted User Modification Security /Edit User Security Role
If you are assigned the USER MANAGER security role, it will only allow you to add or change settings that you yourself are assigned to. In theory, this means that when an employee is adding or modifying other employees' security roles they cannot edit or change any roles that they are not assigned, and thus cannot change someone who has greater roles than they do.
If the user who is making the changes does not have every security role that is assigned, then that user will not be able to make any changes to that group nor add or remove users from that role.
