Users

Information recorded in the Organisational Structure subsystem is predominantly reference data. The ability to add, modify and delete data within this subsystem is restricted to certain categories of users who are the functional specialists responsible for maintaining details of institutions and their structures. Most other users are provided with read-only access to this subsystem and will use organisational structure details within other subsystems or through special inquiry or reporting interfaces.

Users of this subsystem should have a broad understanding of system wide features and functionality. This manual provides the necessary information in the System Overview chapter. Help for a specific topic can be found using the Index.
