The user maintenance app allows you to grant a user permission to a particular implementation and also which environments (Development, Test or Production) that they have access to. You also stipulate the security profile they have been associated with. Their selected profile may consist or one, many or no function and security groups. It is via these groups that business and access rules may provide different interfaces, accessibility or workflow.

The Simplicity desktop application access permission sits on top of your network environment's security.
