Maintaining Source-Level Source Authority
In this Topic
Source authority works in conjunction with source management levels to give users the authority to access and change information about sources and facilities.
The Source Authority tab on the Source Summary component contains all the source authority information that has been recorded for this source. The tab is organized into separate sections for source-level source authority and user-level source authority. Each section includes a list of all source authorities of that type. You can expand and collapse each section as needed.
Source-Level Source Authority
This section on the Source Authority tab contains a list of all the source authorities that have been assigned specifically for this source. Source authority should be assigned at the source level when a user needs access only to a specific source and its facilities, rather than all sources and facilities related to a source management level.
Rows are listed by person. Each row displays an Actions button. Expand a row to display all of the information. Depending on the security rights for your active role, you can view or change information in these fields:
Click in a field and add, change, or delete information as needed.
To assign source authority to a person for this source, click the New button. The system adds a new row at the bottom of the list. Enter information as needed.
To delete a person's source authority for this source, select Delete from the Actions menu on the source authority row. You can delete a source-level source authority only if its effective date is in the future. To reverse the delete action, click the Undo button.
Click Save when you are finished to save all the source authorities added in this session. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes saved in the database.

To apply the dates and status values you entered to all of the selected source-level source authorities, click Save.
The system closes the modal window and displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database. The appropriate rows on the Source Authority tab are updated with the dates and status values you entered in the modal window.
User-Level Source Authority
This section on the Source Authority tab contains a list of all the source authorities for this source that were assigned at the user level as part of a source management level. User-level source authority allows the user to view or modify information about the source and its related facilities. If a user is listed in this section, then the user already has access to the source and does not need to be assigned a source-level source authority in the Source Level Source Authority section above.
Note: User-level source authorities are assigned to users by a system administrator based on source management level.
The information in this list is for viewing only and cannot be changed. Rows are listed by person. To view a user-level source authority, click anywhere in the row to expand it. You can view information in these fields:
