Enabling permissions

Warning

Before turning on permissions via your Database Management menu, contact the Apteco Technical Services team for assistance with this process.

Before a system administrator can use the permissions feature, you must turn on permissions via the Database Management menu.

Turning on permissions

To turn on permissions:

  1. If using an existing system, go to the Database Management menu and run the Migrate Permissions script. This ensures the database is ready to use permissions.

  2. Navigate to FastStats Service Configuration > Advanced > Control menu.

  3. Tick the User Permissions checkbox. This ensures the FastStats Service is ready to control data flow based on permissions.
