Permissions Options

As shown below, Lookup Management provides controls that enable diocesan administrators to grant or deny permission to organizations in the diocese to modify (add, change, and merge) values in the Family Directory lookup tables.

Changing Default Lookup Table Permissions

By default, organizations are allowed to modify each table's values. To change the default permission settings, do the following:

  1. Click   to display the Lookup Management page.

  2. Do one of the following:

The table is now locked. Its records cannot be changed.

The selected tables are now locked. Their records cannot be changed.

Changes to the User Interface

Action buttons in the Lookup Management grids are visible and activated only if the user can access the functionality they represent. In addition, the visibility of a table's content (lookup records) depends on whether the table is locked.

If a lookup table is locked:

       Within the table's grid, records created and owned by the selected organization as well as those owned by the diocese are visible.

       Because access to the table is locked, these buttons are not visible to the organization administrator:

(Add new lookup record)

(Edit a lookup record)

(Merge lookup records)

(Move lookup records)

If a lookup table is not locked:

       Within the table's grid, records created and owned by the selected organization as well as those owned by the diocese are visible.

       The records owned by the selected organization can be modified. Therefore, these buttons are visible and activated for organization-owned lookup records:

(Add new lookup record): this button is visible and

(Edit a lookup record)

       The lookup records owned and created by the diocese cannot be edited and merged. Therefore, these buttons are visible but not activated (shaded) to indicate that their functionality cannot be used:

(Edit a lookup record)

(Merge lookup records)
