General

The General button opens a screen to assign one or more predefined system authorization roles to the employee, or deny the employee access to a role inherited from their home labor distribution.

After this screen is configured and saved, click the Data Access button to open a screen to view, edit, or add the organization units, employees, pay codes, special codes, and override codes the user can access using this role.

Determines the user's authorized access to screens and fields in the application.

The roles displayed in the Field Look Up Values, and the access allowed by each role, are set up under the Configuration section > System card > Authorization Role screen.

Determines the type of system classification (for example, Standard, Customer, User Defined, or Replicated).

Indicates whether the user should be denied permissions to the role at this level (Yes/No). When the Denied field is set to Yes, this overrides any

inherited role for this user and removes data access.

An inherited role is an authorization role that is indirectly assigned to an employee. This role is set up on any level of the Organization Unit screen>Roles section, and is automatically assigned to all employees whose Home labor distribution matches any of the levels of the organization unit. For example, if an employee belongs to a home labor distribution of Corporation A/Facility 1/Department 304/ Unit 1, he or she will "inherit" all the roles set up in the Organization Unit screen for Corporation A and for Facility 1 and for Department 304 and for Unit 1. An inherited role can be overridden at the employee level by assigning the employee the same role but with a different level of access (grant, deny or pass through).

Note: Inherited roles are not listed in the Roles screen in the employee record. They can be viewed in the employee record on the TCS screen>Employee Authorization Information card.
