    Read: Permissions


    Article summary

    Features in Steelhead may be restricted or made visible/accessible for any User on the platform. Permissions can be configured on the User Page for each Steelhead User or controlled with Permission Groups.

    Individual access to features is controlled through the list of checkboxes on each User's page, accessible by clicking Users in the Workforce Tile of the Homepage, then clicking a User Name to open the page.

    In general, "Read" permissions allow a User to view records and data, but are far more restrictive in creating, editing, or deleting data than "Write" permissions are. "Read" and "Write" permissions for one feature are often granted in tandem for Users who need to both view and modify data.
