Q: I created a security role that has every privilege but I still can't perform some tasks unless logged in with the 'Administrator' security role. Is there a comprehensive list of tasks I'll need this security role for?
A: While most tasks that can be performed in OnTime are configurable under a security role, there a few that are tied directly to the 'Administrator' role. These are:
Managing Security Roles - This is used for adding or removing privileges from a security role, applying security roles is tied to the "Edit User" privelege that you can assign to other roles. This option is located under Tools>Manage>Security Roles
- The Lock Manager - This is used for clearing item locks. This tool is located under Help>Lock Manager
- The Exception Viewer - This is for viewing any exceptions that might occur within OnTime. This tool is located under Help>Exception Viewer
- The OnTime Metrics tool - This is used for viewing database information about OnTime and performing some database maintenance. For a full rundown of the Metrics tool, check out THIS podcast. This tool is located under Help>OnTime Metrics.
- On a trial database, the Administrator security role will also have the option to convert OnTime to Express licensing for testing purposes. If you already have a purchased key, this option is not available.
