Overview

Commission Security has two levels.  First, access to the Commission Module itself.  Second, the authorization of tasks that a user can perform within the commission module.

Commission Module Security

The first level of security is providing Access to the optional Commission Module. If a person doesn't have access to the module, they will not even see the Commission Tab at the bottom of the View Policy With Commissions Screen or the Commission Tab on the Modify Policy and Modify Coverage Screens.

Authorizing Commission Module Access

Authorizing Commission Module Access

Under Optional Modules, just check the Commission Module.  This will give those in the "User Role" access to the Commission Module.

You may also want to set up a separate role called "Commission Users" to keep those with commission access in a separate class of user.

Commission Task Security

Once a person has access to the Commission Module, you can authorize them to do different tasks.
