This area of the Profile screen features the "Manager Checkboxes" that are used to grant special privileges or special access to certain people.

There is a [Checkboxes Help ?] button narrative for this section of the screen next to the "Manager Checkboxes Options" label.

** Note: If you haven't already read that general "Help Text" narrative for these options, you should go read it first because it does provide some helpful information before you look at any of the specific "Manager Checkboxes" in detail.

The following is a description of the specific "Global Changes Manager" Checkbox and indicates what purpose this Checkbox serves.

"Global Changes Manager" Checkbox

If you give a person the "Global Changes Manager" privilege, they will be able to see the [Config] icon on the Profile screen. If they click the [Config] icon, they will go to the Configuration Maintenance screen where they can make changes to various configuration choices and features.

Why do we need to grant Global Changes Manager permissions to individuals?

With this function, you can authorize specific people to make global updates to data fields. Using this function, they can make mass changes to the data in every contact database record.

Since changing the data in every database record can cause serious database corruption if done incorrectly, you want to make sure only people who know what they are doing have access to the Global Change function.

If you think you have a need for this function, please contact your MemberLink® Support Team and talk with them first.

** Note: Accessing the System Configuration area requires Administrative module access. However, you can give your Global Changes Manager specialist a permission level of "AssistAdmin" so that when they login and do the Configuration work, but they cannot access or change much else in the Administrative module.

How do we designate people to have "Global Changes Manager" access?

In the Administrative module, on the right side of the Profile screen, there is an area with "Manager Checkboxes." These Checkboxes are only visible to the MasterAdmin and SysAdmin, and can only be manipulated by them.

Using the Global Changes Manager Checkbox, you can indicate in this person's profile that they may work with Configuration options and Global Changes. The default when you enter a new person into the system is that this Checkbox will not be checked and this person will not be able to access the [Config] icon. The MasterAdmin or SysAdmin has to click this Checkbox to authorize it.

You can designate as many people as you desire to have Global Changes Manager access, but remember they must also have Administrative module access.
