Define Privilege dialog box

The Define Privilege dialog box is used to add or edit (including activate or de-activate) a Privilege level, which provides Access Rights for groups of users. It is opened by selecting the Privileges branch, then the Add Privilege option from the right mouse menu or Privileges menu; or by selecting a specific privilege in the Privileges branch, then the Edit Privilege option from the right mouse menu or Privilege menu.

When used to edit a Privilege level, the User Name and Date of the last edit is shown at the bottom of the dialog box.

See: Note on Field Formats

The following privileges, or access rights, may be applied to the specified Privilege Level:

Administrator: full rights to the application and database (all other privileges listed in the dialog box are pre-selected and unavailable for editing).

Explorer View: (available only when real-time option purchased) allows the user access to the Explorer view . You may want to limit access to this view for data entry personnel who exclusively use the Work Set view

Edit Users: allows user to modify existing users' ID privilege level and password.

Note: Users without this privilege will be able to access the Define User dialog box to edit their own user name and password.

Add Privilege Levels: allows user to create new privilege levels.

Edit Privilege Levels: allows user to modify existing privilege levels.

Remove Privilege Levels: allows user to delete existing privilege levels from the database.

Edit Traceability Field Labels: allows user to modify the labels that are used for a Traceability field. For example, label 'Traceability 2' can be renamed to 'Lot Number.'

Add Traceability List Items: allows user to create new items that appear in a Traceability field's list.

Edit Traceability List Items: allows user to modify existing items that appear in a Traceability field's list.

Add Assignable Cause Items: allows user to create new items that appear in the Assignable Cause or Corrective Action fields' lists.

View Audit Trail: allows user to view the contents of the Audit Trails (if CFR features purchased).

Edit Audit Trail Notes: (if CFR features purchased) allows user to add or modify notes associated with an Audit Trail record, perhaps to indicate why a data value needed to be modified.

Add Processes: allows user to add processes, and to add (or define) characteristics to the database that will be associated with that process.

Edit Processes: allows user to modify existing processes, including assigning, copying and removing the characteristics associated with that process.

Note: Users may not edit a characteristic associated with a process unless the Edit Characteristic privilege (below) is also selected.

Remove Processes: allows user to delete existing processes from the database. Removing a Process deletes all of the Process' Characteristics and all Reports based on these Characteristics. It will also remove these Characteristics from associated Analyses (and Work Sets, when real-time option purchased).

Edit Characteristics: allows user to modify existing characteristics.

Remove Characteristics: allows user to delete existing Characteristics. Deleting a Characteristic removes all the data (and Audit Trail records) associated with the Characteristic. The Characteristic is removed from Analyses and Reports (and Work Sets, when real-time option purchased).

Add Work Sets: (available when real-time option purchased) allows user to create new Work Sets, including assigning and removing the characteristics associated with the Work Set, changing the order of the characteristics in the Work Set, setting Auto Advance properties of the Work Set, and selecting gages used in data collection for the Work Set.

Edit Work Sets: (available when real-time option purchased) allows user to modify existing Work Sets, including assigning and removing the characteristics associated with the Work Set, changing the order of the characteristics in the Work Set, setting Auto Advance properties of the Work Set, and selecting gages used in data collection for the Work Set.

Remove Work Sets: (available when real-time option purchased) allows user to delete existing Work Sets from the database. Removing a Work Set has no effect on the Process Characteristics associated with the Work Set.

Add Gages: (available when real-time option purchased) allows user to create new gages and define the gage properties.

Edit Gage Properties: (available when real-time option purchased) allows user to modify existing gages and their properties.

Choose Gages: (available when real-time option purchased) allows user to select gages for use in data collection.

Remove Gages: (available when real-time option purchased) allows user to delete existing Gages from the database. Deleting a gage removes the gage from the database. If it is assigned to a Work Set, you will be prompted to remove it from the Work Set(s) before proceeding with the gage deletion.

Add Data: allows user to enter data and select items from active Traceability field lists.

Edit Data: allows user to modify data values and Traceability field list selections from prior data.

Add Import Definitions: allows user to add Import Definitions, and to add (or define) characteristics to the database that will be associated with an Import from a file or database or a link to a file or database.

Note: Users must have Explorer View privilege to Add, Edit or Remove Import Definitions.

Edit Import Definitions: allows user to modify existing Import Definitions.

Note: Users may not edit a characteristic associated with a process unless the Edit Characteristic privilege (below) is also selected.

Remove Import Definitions: allows user to delete existing Import Definitions from the database. Deleting an Import Definition does NOT remove any of the data that has been imported using the Import Definition.

Add Document: allows user to create new documents and define their properties.

Edit Document: allows user to change existing documents and their properties.

Remove Document: allows user to delete existing documents from the database. Removing a document only deletes the link to the document on the network; it does not delete the document from the network.

Acknowledge Alerts: allows user to respond to Alert Conditions defined for a Process Monitor Analysis.

Create New Database: allows user to access the File / New / Database option for creating blank databases.

Copy Characteristic Property: allows user to access the Copy Property option from the right mouse menu when a Process Characteristic is selected.
