Security - Who Has What?
In Livery Coach, users are set up under Maintain…Security. There are lots of different settings to get a pretty fine variation in controlling who can do what.
As we always point out during training, there are a few security settings that you want to be particularly careful in granting to users. One, of course, is Security itself—if a user has Security, then he or she can just go in and give himself or herself access to everything else.
The other is Trip Deletable…which allows a user to be able to delete trips. Generally you want users to be able to cancel trips, but not delete them.
Given how many different security settings there are, it can be very useful to be able to see who has what. For example, if a trip was deleted, you might want to double-check to see exactly who has this capability.
Fortunately, this is easy to do. Simply launch Maintenance, and then go to Maintain..Security, and select the tab titles “Search Security Option”.

Then use the drop-down to pick the security setting you are curious about, and the lower box will populate with all the users who have that permission.
