Status*: Specify whether the rule is active or inactive.  By default is Inactive.

Priority*: The priority of the rule.  The priority value must be unique in all program access rules.  The smaller the number, the higher the priority the rule has.  The default value is set to 0.1 plus the largest number of the existing rules.  If there is no existing rule, the default priority is 1.000.

When you are finished entering the general information, click the Next button and go to the Set Program Access Rights tab.

If you select Set Program Access Right(s) tab, you will see the following screen under the Set Program Access Right(s) tab.

 A full list of modules will display on the left-hand side. You can click to expand a module.  After you select a Module/Function/Item, the table for setting will be displayed on the right selection. This table lists all program access settings by three levels: Module - Function – Item and the required License of each function. Access rights of a lower level inherit those of a higher level by default, but this can be overwritten.

In particular, you can select All Module from the left panel to set access rights for all functions and items at Module level.

There are three categories of access rights: Read Only, Write, and Deny.

❖When Read Only is selected, the content is read-only by default, which means new content cannot be added and the current content cannot be modified.

❖When Write is selected, the content becomes editable by default, which means that new content can be added and the current content can be modified.

❖When Deny is selected, access to that content is denied.

Click the Cancel button to go back to the General Information tab.

Click the Reset button to clear all changes.

When the settings are done, click the Save button to save the rule.
