Martus Admins have access to everything in Martus. But non-admin users in Martus have certain types of permissions granted via 3 areas. These areas work together, defining what a non-admin user has access to. Additionally, the Martus subscription impacts user access.
- Permissions - A user can have functional permissions - mostly related to the menu items in Martus - set on the User record or by the User Role associated with that user.
- Dimensions - A user can have dimension restrictions, which define what dimensions a user can see, also set on the User record. Dimension restrictions are not in scope for this article, but more information can be found here.
- Accounts - Account restrictions are set in Setup > Accounts, and can be overridden on either the User record or by the User Role associated with the user.
A User Role is applied to a User, setting the initial permissions. Where permitted, when Manage at User Level is set on the User Role, those permissions can be granted to a specific User. To manage User Roles, view this article.
Navigate to Setup > Users > Edit User > Permissions to see a user's overall permissions within Martus.
Listing of All User Permission Options
Below is a list of all of the permission options available, by subscription, and how they behave when granted.
| Admin (All Rights Below) - Gives access to all of Martus |
- Admin overrides any dimension restrictions.
- Admin grants access to all folders, including Personnel Budgeting.
- Note: An Admin may work with Martus support to create an added layer of security for Personnel Budgeting that requires Admins to enter a password for access. Admins without the password are denied access.
