Roles for Parish Programs
If your diocese has multiple parishes installed on one computer, you can authorize users from those parishes to access all databases. To do this, a role must be set up to identify users and access rights. DioOffice then applies the credentials to all parishes for use.
Before working with roles, you must add a data synchronization password for each parish.
After you add data synchronization passwords for each parish, you can set up and assign roles to users in your DioOffice program.
