You can change the available job menus for each user role. For details, see 9.4 Changing the executable jobs (Customize Job Menu) in the Planning and Setup Guide.

(2) Differences in accessible asset information

The asset information accessible from windows depends on the user role.

If access is limited by group level, a user can reference only the asset information permitted for his or her group, including all lower groups, assuming the group's managed label is the same as for the user role. For details about setting access control by group level, see 3.1.3 Assigning access permissions according to organizational hierarchy in the Planning and Setup Guide.

The figure below shows the organization of groups and managed labels when the sample user and group information is imported.

For details about importing the sample user and group information, see 5.11 Importing the sample data that can be used in windows in the Planning and Setup Guide.
