WebOffice4Schools User Account Permissions

All 4Schools user permissions are managed via the user's account in the Users Database.

Users can be given permissions to create announcements or categories or be designated as a manager who can approve or reject submitted I-forms or purchase orders.

Users can also be assigned a manager within their user account, who in turn can be responsible for approving/rejecting any submitted I-forms or purchase orders from that user.  

Access to Resources is also defined within a user account.

Access User Account

From within the Users Database, use the Search/Manage option to find the desired user account. Select the edit pencil next to the user to access the user's account.
