About authorization levels

The Sys Mgmt. authorization level grants system administration on iMIS Desktop, as the SysAdmin role (see User-level security: Roles and Groups) does across the other views. In fact, they are intrinsically paired: If you give a user Level 8 authorization for Sys Mgmt., they automatically join the SysAdmin role; if you remove that Level 8, they automatically drop the SysAdmin role.

Note: Do not remove a user's SysAdmin role without also lowering the Sys Mgmt level: parts of the system that consider them an administrator will conflict with the parts that do not. Make sure they have both or neither.

All users who had authorization level 8 in Sys Mgmt. are granted the SysAdmin role.
