Section 2 - Access Levels

There are four levels of access in the Force Systems Management module. Understanding these levels will ensure the proper access is granted.

1. Force - top level of access. Users at this level have access to all assets for all Site Ids throughout the entire Force Systems Management (FSM). This level is only available for Standard user types at the Report or Inquiry level. Users assigned to the FSM Coordinator role have to be assigned Force level of access for Updates. This is a system requirement. Again any update role at the Force level require a CCB Member signature if the IO isn’t appointed at the Force level.
2. Force Command - users at this level can manage all assets and authorizations for the entire Command Id.
3. Force Group - lower level with access privileges are restricted to the Group specified on the form. With this level, one will have visibility of all Groups and Elements that fall under the specified Group. With this level, one can manage assets at this level to include all Elements within the specified Group.
4. Force Element - lowest level of access. At the Element level, a user can only see property or assets assigned to their account.

Once you have an understanding of the access levels, you can assign functional categories to a level.  These categories are:

• Updates - managing assets
• Reports - generating and running a standard or customized report
• Inquiry - looking up specific information about an asset or assets

For each Level of Access category, only one of the four levels may be assigned on the Roles Form.

For example, a user may be able to update or manage assets at a low level (Force Element) and run reports or generate inquiries at a higher level (Force Group). In another example, a user can update assets at the Group level but may run reports and generate inquiries at the Command level.

Section 3 - Assignment

Based on the Access Level selected, the corresponding Assignment information should be completed.

Note: if more assignments are needed than available in this section, there is an Extra Assignments section on page two of the DPAS Roles Request Form.
