Databases permissions
- Denise McGettigan
The main Databases user permission governs access to the Databases section in both the Phocas menu and homepage.
This general Databases permission on the Profile tab is different from the user’s specific database permissions and restrictions that are managed on the Databases tab. See Overview of access to data and Manage a user's database access and restrictions for more information.
Even when users have the Databases permission, they can only view the specific databases they have been given access to.
On the other hand, if users have been given access to a specific database but do not have the Databases permission, they will be able to view that database via any dashboards or favorites that have been shared with them. They cannot open a database directly.
The Default Period user permission is available when the main Databases user permission is enabled. It allows users to set their own default period (timeframe) for each database.
