Who Should Have What Permissions?

One of the most important things you do in setting up the e-Link system is configuring the user security, which is basically a selection of permissions. Do you want to give students and parents accounts? How about teachers? Should teachers only be able to review and change students’ records? Should there be secretary groups that can add, change, and delete student records? Do you want to allow internet access to the e-Link system? e-Link has a sophisticated user permissions management system that allows you to make those choices clearly.

Two things to note:

•	User groups are literally groups of users that require the same permissions to the e-Link data.

•	Users can only be members of one User Group at a time.
