38 Access Management

You use the Access Management tab in the Tools screen to allocate the customers that are visible to the SMS user. This screen has a limiting function as SMS users automatically have full access to all ACS customers, an SMS user's access is only limited when ACS customers are selected and placed in this list. Therefore an empty Selected ACS Customers list gives full access to all SMS users.
