Example: Create a user group to create or edit work orders

Suppose you want to allow certain users to be able to create or modify work orders but have no other privileges in MES Client.

A solution would be to create a user group that has only the privileges that are required for those tasks and assign the users to that user group. Those privileges would be:

• Access to MES Client.

• Access to the Order Management group in the Navigation Bar, which includes the Work Order and Jobs module.

• The ability to create and modify work orders.

Create a user group that can only create or modify work orders

1. Create a new user group and enter a descriptive name for the user group, such as "Order Management," in its Description box.

2. Select the new user group.

   

3. In the Privileges tab, do the following:

   • To give the user group access to MES Client, in the Configuration section, select the May run configuration tools check box.

     

   • To give the user group access to the Order Management group in the Navigation Bar, in the Configuration section, select the May configure Work Orders and Jobs check box.

     

   • To allow the user group to create and modify work orders, in the Supervisor section, select the May create jobs check box.

     

4. Save the changes.

Now, when a user who is only a member of this user group logs into MES Client, they will be able to create and modify work orders in the Order Management group in the Navigation Bar, shown below. However, they will only have access to this feature.
