Users & Groups
The VALT Software is compromised of 7 main sections.
Access to these sections, and their associated features, can be controlled at two distinct levels within the software: the group level and the user level.
Group Level
At the core of our permission structure, the majority of access permissions are defined at the group level. By establishing permission settings at this level, you can streamline the management process and ensure consistent access controls for users within the same group.
User Level
Permissions defined at the group level are automatically inherited by the individual users assigned to those groups, simplifying the administration of permissions.
In addition to the group-level permissions, our software allows for further customization at the individual user level. This means that specific access permissions can be fine-tuned to cater to unique requirements, providing an extra layer of control over user privileges.
Group Level Permissions
Here are lists of the permissions within VALT and the corresponding access they grant. The chart below illustrates whether each permission can be configured at the group level, user level, or both.
General
