Departments can be a useful tool for organizing access to settings and functionality for groups of people. Department settings can be used to limit access to Group and Location settings. Access to templates, portals, and data can also be controlled with department configurations because once a user has been assigned to a department, the department-level permissions will be enforced for that user and will limit their access to pages, data, and functionality.
Users with administrative-level access can access and maintain department permissions for a PDCflow account.
