How do I limit user access to specific site tools?

Our Security Settings feature allows the Security Administrator to control access to site features and tools based on purchasing roles. Users are assigned to groups which are given specific rights. Standard groups are available, or custom groups may also be created to better reflect the purchasing needs of your company.

The following are standard groups to which users may belong:

Administrator: for users who administer organizations
Power Users: for users with limited administrative rights
Users: default group for all users
Finance Users: a built-in system group for finance users

The following Enterprise Roles/Restrictions may be assigned to groups and/or individual users:

PAS Administrator: manages PAS settings
Catalog Administrator: manages custom catalogs
Security Administrator: manages Security Settings
SLT Administrator: manages Software License Tracker

The following My CDW Account Feature Permissions may be assigned to groups and/or individual users:

Multiple Billing Addresses (Account Linking)
Payment Reporting
Recent Orders
Order Reporting
Quotes
SLT User
Other Feature Administrator

In addition, groups and/or individual users may also be assigned permissions to specific custom catalogs.
