Select the check box for each function you want to entitle for the user group. You can select an entire functional area, such as Information Reporting to select all functions associated with the functional area, or you can click the [+] next to a function to expand the functions for a feature and select only specific functions. For example, if you want members of the user group to have the ability to create and edit Internal Transfers, but not to delete Internal Transfers, you can select the option to Create/Edit but not the option to Delete.
Note: Depending on your company's configuration, you may have a simplified setup page that allows you to entitle the user to either No Access View Only or View and Transact access by feature or group of features.
