Managing Permissions and Connectivity in the Enterprise Connection Module

Permissions for the Enterprise Connection module, including the ability to create and delete jobs, can be assigned through control Panel under Roles and permissions. By giving the access to just the Enterprise Connection module, you give the accessibility to read only. To create or edit a job, you need to have access to Edit job. To delete a job, you need access to Delete job.

To connect to the other WATS, you need to fill out the connection details. Read more about creating and updating job in the article “Enterprise Connection – Best practice.”
