The Users resource is where users are granted rights to Apogee. When a user logs on, the roles assigned to the user in this resource are automatically activated.

Select the Apogee System in the Hardware pane to see the Users icon in the Resources pane. Double-click the Users icon to open the resource where you can create users and set their roles with detailed privileges.

Each role is a collection of privileges which are displayed in the Privileges tab. Several default roles are provided and these appear in the list in italics. These default roles each have a set of predefined privileges which are relevant for these specific roles. If necessary, these roles can be duplicated and the privileges fine-tuned, or new roles can be created from scratch.

You have access to the main job commands (except Edit Imposition) and to selected Task Processor resources.

In addition to most job commands, you also have access to administration and system privileges; you can create and edit Task Processor Parameter Sets and ticket templates, and view and manage resources.

You can only edit imposition jobs.

In addition to the Imposition Operator privileges, you can access the Imposition Task Processor Parameter Sets and manage its resources.

You can only access Layout jobs, you cannot perform any commands related to Commercial jobs.

You can perform certain platemaking commands such as making and remaking output. Only the Jobs window is visible.

A user with this role can only view the selected windows of the Apogee client and is not able to perform commands.

Clicking a role in the Role list highlights the users with this role in the User list with a green check mark.

Commands you can perform on tickets.

Commands for managing Task Processors and licensing

Commands for managing system resources.

A list of all the Task Processors.

Use these options to show/hide specified windows or resources in the Apogee client.

Expand a category to display the privileges.

Opens the Job Filter where you can fine-tune the privileges even further by specifying a filter to show/hide certain jobs in the Job List for the selected role. For example: user John has the role of Prepress Operator Plant A and can only see jobs whose Job Name contains ‘Plant A’. User Bill has the role of Prepress Operator Plant B and can only see jobs whose Job Name contains ‘Plant B’. See “Filtering the Job List”. This filter is set for a role so it can be re-used for all users with this role.

To delete a filter you may have set on a role.

 

The listed privileges refer to the ability to perform tasks or access resources in Apogee. Privileges can be selected individually within a category or at the category level. If all the privileges are selected within a category, the check mark is black, otherwise it’s gray.
