User Control – Security Policy

🛡️ Purpose

The Security Policy allows Corporate Administrators to define which user types can access which applications. This ensures each user only sees tools relevant to their role.

👤 User Types & Access

User Type	Description
Corporate Administrator	Full access to all functions.
Departmental Administrator	Manages users within their department only.
Advanced User	Can access assigned apps and create overlays.
GGP User	Access to apps as determined by Corporate Admins.
View User	Can view overlays, annotate, and print.
Map User	Can view, annotate, and print map data.

User type is assigned when creating a user account.

✏️ How to Edit Security Policy

1. Launch GGP Applications Launcher

2. Log in as Corporate Administrator

3. Click Users

4. Go to View | Security or click the Security icon

A table appears showing all applications vs. user types.
Use "True" or "False" to enable or disable access for each user type.

✅ True – Access allowed
❌ False – Access denied

⚠️ Do not disable User Control Maintenance for Corporate Admins – you will lose access to the security policy settings!

💡 Tips

• If View or Map Users run out of their restricted licences, you can allow them to use a GGP licence (if available), so they retain familiar functionality.

• To enable this, change GGP access for Map/View users to True, assign a valid GGP licence, and relaunch the application.

🧪 Example: Enable GGP for a Map User

1. In the Security Policy table:

   • Find the GGP row

   • Set Map column to True

2. Close and relaunch

3. Log in as the Map User

4. Assign a GGP licence via Users > User | Edit

5. The [GGP] button will now be enabled
