To delete a role, click the “Delete” button next to the role.
Selecting Locations for a User
If you want the user to be able to log into all locations, then you want to enable all locations. To do this switch the “Enable all Locations” switch to the “Yes” position. If you want to choose which locations the user is enabled in follow the following instructions:
Click the “Add” button. A new window will appear which you can search all locations.
Click the “Name” or “#” of the location you wish to enable.
The location will now be enabled for the user. To delete a location simply click the “Delete” link next to the location name.
