Managing Certify AP User Permissions

As a Certify AP Administrator, you have the ability to manage permissions for yourself and for other employees in your company. Permission categories include Purchases, Invoices, Miscellaneous, and Reports. All permissions can be inherited with the exception of approval permission. Permission assigned in a department applies to that department and all its child or sub-departments.

This article will show you, an Accounts Payable Administrator, how to manage company permissions.
