[VA] Creating a Vista "Admin" User

Vista does not have a formal “Admin” role; however, an administrator is generally considered a user with access to all programs and forms, or at minimum, full access to the Viewpoint Administration (VA) module.

Access to administrative functions can be granted through several methods, all of which must be performed by a user who already has full access to the VA module.

Methods for Granting Access

1. Copy Security from an Existing User (Recommended)

   • Duplicate the security settings of a user who already has full VA access.

2. Grant Full Access via VA User Profile

   • Use the “Grant Full Access” button within the user’s profile.

3. Assign Security Groups

   • Add the user to groups that provide full access to programs, reports, data, and attachment types.

   • These groups are typically established during Vista implementation and may be named: All Programs, All Reports, All Companies, etc.
