Assign Access Levels to Business Role and Location Combinations

Access Levels are bundles of EmpowerID operations and/or native system rights specific to a resource type that when assigned to users grants those users the ability to access IT resources in the manner specified by the Access Level. When you assign Access Levels to Business Role and Location (BRL) combinations, each member of the Business Role and Location will receive the Access Levels and be able to perform the tasks associated with them. For example, if you assign the Member Access Level for a generic group to the Business Role and Location, each person in the Business Role and Location will be granted group membership.
