Accounting user interface

The pages of the user interface are grouped by function and accessed by using the resulting navigation tree. Permissions are used to control which of those pages are available to specific users. When you don't have the permissions for a page, you can't see that page in the navigation tree.

Permissions

You must have the view permission for a page before you can assign any of the permissions for that page to another user. When you try to assign permissions for a page that you can't view, one of the following user interface changes happens:

The page is removed from the navigation tree.
The page displays a "Page cannot be displayed" error message when you try to access it.

A group must have the permission to view a page before the users in that group can assign any of the other permissions that are related to that page.

Timestamps

Most of the timestamps that are displayed on the user interface are shown in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by default. However, the time zone that is used to display timestamps is an individual user preference that you can change by editing the user ID. Timestamps that are received from an external source are displayed without time zone conversion.
