1.3.6 Restricting and extending tasks according to user roles

User permissions can be used to restrict or extend the scope of jobs that can be performed by the user. Being able to change the functionality that is available for each set of user permissions allows you to better use the centrally managed asset information for your desired purposes.

For example, for users who will use the windows only for checking their own PC information and the statuses of the licenses for installed software programs, you can restrict the window functionality associated with updating asset information, and permit those users to only being able to perform view operations.

For the asset manager, you can extend the window functionality available so that the asset manager can register multiple contracts with a contract company or delete contract information from the Contract List window.

The following figure shows the concept of restricting and extending work tasks by using user permissions.
