User Level Basics

Collect! supplies a default set of User Levels that you can use or modify. You can also create your own levels. It is recommended that you try out the user levels that are supplied before you create your own.

The predefined User Levels are:

1 Administrator
10 System Manager
20 Office Manager
30 Sales Manager
40 Collection Manager
50 Senior Collector
60 Junior Collector
61 Web Dialer Operator
70 Sales
80 Accounting Manager
85 Accounting
90 Data Entry
95 Legal
97 Client Group
98 Guest
99 Tech Access

Level 1 and Level 10 have the most access and 98 has the least. 99 bypasses the User Level settings and grants full access to everything.

Signing in as ID 99 with Password 99 bypasses security and allows you full access to Collect!. This is a "special administrative level" and should not be used as an ordinary user level.

If you want to make adjustments to a User Level's settings, it is recommended that you make a copy of the existing User Level and experiment on that. Please see How To Copy User Levels for more information.

List of Predefined User Levels

Level 1 has the same settings as Level 10 by default. In your office, you may want your Administrator and your System Manager to have different settings. So we have provided two highest level User Levels for your convenience.
