Permission Controls

Permission controls govern a single user's permission to perform specific functions within FinancialForce PSA. If you are an Operations or Admin user, you can set up permission controls for each FinancialForce PSA user.

You can use permission controls to:

• Control administrative functions at various levels, including: the resource, RPG or project.
• Grant permissions for a specific date range or start date.
• Cascade permission controls to all nodes below the one to which you have assigned permissions. For instance, if controlling by regionA level of hierarchy used in PSA to which other objects belong such as resources, opportunities and projects., practiceA level of hierarchy used in PSA to which other objects belong such as resources, opportunities and projects., or groupA level of hierarchy used in PSA to which other objects belong such as resources, opportunities and projects., you can cascade the permission control to all nodes lower in the hierarchy in addition to the specified RPGAbbreviation of region, practice, group..

To set up a permission control, select the Permissions Control tab and fill in the fields as described in "Permission Control Fields".

Note

If your organization uses contractors who will not have a Salesforce login, consider setting up a permission control to allow project managers to create timecards and expenses for these resources. To do this, enter the project manager as the user, select the appropriate resource, and then select the Timecard Entry and Expense Entry check boxes.

If your organization uses operations managers who need to create Resource Requests and assign Resources, create a Permission Control and select the Region, Practice or Group to which you want to grant access.

By default, only project managers can edit project tasks in Project Task Gantt. You can grant permission to view or edit project tasks to other users. To do so, create a permission control with the Project Task Gantt View or Project Task Gantt Edit checkboxes selected for the project.
