Managing Custom Attributes Security

By default any user who is allowed to edit a customer account will be allowed to edit Custom Attribute information on the CRM tab (except for the Credit group – that is secured separately) but you may want to restrict who can setup the attribute and group choices that appear in the dropdown lists.

I want to read the white paper (with lots of screen shots) on CRM Customer Relationship Management.

Navigate to File > Security > Manage Roles.

To allow permission to manage (add new, edit, remove) Attribute Groups and Custom Attributes:

Tab

Item

Action

Accounts Receivable

CRM Manage Custom Attribute Group

Enable on menu

 

CRM Manage Custom Attribute Group

Enable on menu

Manage

Credit Group Security

Similar to the data on the customer account Credit/Finance tab, there is a separate permission to allow access to the Credit group on the CRM tab.

To allow permission to edit the attributes in the Credit group on the Customer Account CRM tab:
* not everyone may need this

Tab

Item

Action

Accounts Receivable

Customers

Edit CRM Credit Info*

Custom Attribute Export Security

To allow permission to export Custom Attributes:

Tab

Item

Action

Administration

Export Data

CRM Custom Attributes

Note

If a user does not have permission to view Credit group custom attributes, they will not be allowed to preview or export them either.
