Notes (v4.6):
A ‘draft/pending edit can be changed only by the same
operator, and will be visible/displayed only for that
operator plus any operators with applicable “Approve
and Save” permission.
Operators with “Approve and Save” permission will be
given the option to approve or cancel any applicable
draft user and operator edits when they view those
screen(s)—in either forms view or grid view. These
operators cannot add or edit operator or user data
themselves though.
Permission classes can be selected for User topics only
as follows:  If any are “Approve and Save”, then all
tabs must be set to this;  If any are “Edit Only”, other
allowed choices are “View Only”, and “Unauthorized”.
Operators with “Edit and Save” permissions can assign
any permission ‘class’, while “Edit Only” operators can
only add or edit operators with the same permission,
“View Only”, or “Unauthorized”. Similar restrictions
apply to any operator editing operator permissions.
Changes made by an operator with full “Edit and Save”
authority will overwrite any draft/pending edits
pertaining to the same operator or user ID number
.
The operator will not be aware of this since the
draft/pending edits will not be shown to them. As such,
“Approvals” versus “Full Edit” administrative sessions
should be managed accordingly.
Scheduled Event Filtering
for Operators
Introduction
Scheduled event filtering allows setting the
types of messages each operator will be able
to see during vs. outside of specific times.
Notes:  Operators with "Events Filter" permission will
be able to temporarily override the scheduled filter
settings;  Setting up this feature requires "Operator
Permissions" permission;  You can set up any number
of scheduled event filters (i.e., up to one for each
operator, if desired);  When scheduled event filtering
is in effect for the present operator, a clock symbol will
appear on the [ Filter ] button at the bottom of the
monitoring window.
