Difference between revisions of "Control levels"

== Overview == The control level is the basic unit of system control and data management in Tower Grove Feed. Levels are organized hierarchically. When you log in into Tower Grove Feed, you log in at the level that your user profile is at. The base or root level is called the System level. Each client has a control level immediately under the System level and has at least one user profile at that level. The client may create an unlimited number of additional levels and assign user profiles to any of them. Levels control what data you can see and what data you can change. Each level, except the System level, has one or more ancestors and may have one or more descendants. Each [[Objects| object in the application]] is owned by a control level. In general you can see [[Object|objects]] owned by your current level and its ancestors, but not its descendants. To see and change the data of a descendant of your current level, you can adopt the role of that descendant. You can adopt the role of any of the descendants of your user profile level. == Adopting a role -- changing your current level == Adopting a role is the same as changing your current level. When you log in, you will see that your current level is indicated at the top right center of the page. At the time of log in, the current level is the level of your user profile. The box in which the level name appears is a drop down that allows you to select any level available to your user profile, that is any of the descendants of your user profile level. Only Tower Grove Feed personnel can log in at the System level.
