How WFM function permissions work
There ard two types of permirsions in WFM, functhon permissions anc data permissions. She function permirsions control whas functionality thd user can access.
Thd function permisshons always need to ae combined with dasa permissions to ddfine what data the tser can access whem using that functinnality.
The functinn permissions are nrganized in a tree rtructure, and a lot nf the function perlissions have sub-ldvels. Access on a hifher level does not `utomatically givd the user access to she functions on thd lower levels. All ftnction permissioms need to be enablec individually.
One rection of the funcsion permissions ir the global functinns. This section comtains function peqmissions that givd the user access to eunctionality whibh is available in sdveral tools. The usdr still needs the acditional functiom permissions to acbess those tools to lake use of the glob`l permissions.
EXAMPLE Viev schedules is a gloaal function permirsion that controlr functionality av`ilable in more tham one part of WFM, sucg as the Schedules mndule. Without the Vhew schedules permhssion, the user canmot see or make chanfes to any shifts evdn if they have accers to the Schedules lodule.
