Access Levels for Users and Roles

Access levels are used to determine how much access a role and user have in Momentus Enteprise. You assign access levels to both roles and users. When you assign an access level to a role, you can only assign users with that access level or above to that role. This prevents a user from being inadvertently assigned a role with more access than the user should have. See below the available access levels in the least to most restrictive order:

• Administrator
• Internal
• External
• Public

Using the above hierarchy, you can assign a user with an Administrator access level to roles with Administrator, Internal, External or Public access levels. You can only assign a user with a Public access level to roles with Public access levels and the user is not available for selection for roles with Administrator, Internal or Public access levels.  

Access levels do not automatically grant certain access (Administrator access level does not give automatic access to the entire system) or access to certain features but rather allows you to determine your own level of access for each access level. For example, a role set to the Internal access level can access any Administration features the role is assigned.

Below is a guideline of how to use access levels:

• Administrator - Full system access.
• Internal - Access to the areas of Enterprise necessary for the user's job function. Does not have access to any system administration features.
• External - Typically used for third-party vendors to allow access to view only one or very few screens in Enterprise.
• Public - Users should have no access to the system but are in the users screen due to logging in to a public-facing application such as Registration or Exhibitor Service Center.
