Utilities | Setup | User and Group Maintenance | Tick block functionality

Info
The Access Functionality Tick Blocks control user permissions within IQ/ERP Go.
These tick blocks determine what a user can see, open, and perform in the system.
Although the official manual offers limited detail, the permission system follows a consistent internal logic.
Notes
Explanation:
IQ/ERP Go has comprehensive security, but can also be overwhelming for new users. 
For the explanation we have made summary tabled, detailed and simple terms to understand the functionality.

Summary tabled terms:

Quote
1.  Ticked (Solid Tick) — User Has Explicit Access

When a tick block is ticked manually in the user’s Access section:

The user is granted access to that function.
This setting overrides the user group permissions.
It is an explicit permission applied directly to the user/operator.

Use Case:
Granting an individual extra access beyond what their group allows.

2.   Grey Tick (Inherited Permission) — User Inherits Access From Group

A grey tick means:

The permission is inherited from the user’s group.
The user’s access is determined by the group configuration, not by the individual setting.
No manual change has been made at user level.

Use Case:
Standard permissions that apply to everyone in a specific group (e.g., Cashiers, Stock Controller, Manager).

❌ 3.   No Tick (Empty Box) — No Access at All

When the tick block is empty:
Neither the user nor the group has permission.
The functionality will be hidden, blocked, or restricted in the system.
Quote
Simple terms:

Ticked = User allowed (overrides group)
Grey Tick = User inherits access from group
No Tick = Nobody has access (blocked)
