Overview of User Processes

When you configure a user template or a user account, you must assign one or more processes to the template or account. Each process grants a specific permission to the user. The following sections detail the event processes or academic event processes that you can assign to a user template or account, or an academic user template or account, respectively, and the permissions that are granted to the user by each process.

Before assigning processes to a user template account, read through all the processes and note the implied relationships between certain items. For example, if you plan to give a user the right to edit a booking, you must also give the user the right to open a booking.
