Provided the Phocas Budgets and Forecasts module has been enabled for your site, you can give users permission to manage the budgets and forecasts. Typically a change to this access would be requested by someone in the Finance team.

With this permission, Budgets and Forecasts users you become a budget ‘owner’ and therefore, have the ability to create and manage budgets and forecasts.

Info
