The application modules

The application modules
	Chapter 1. General information

The system has various „Application areas“, where a user can have access if he is a "participant" of the application (this is setup by an administrator). Only then the application will show up in the menu for the user.

An intelligent process makes it very easy to automatically handle the default setup for new users:

An application can be marked as an application to which any new user will be assigned automatically after the registration (either registered by himself or by a client administrator).
In this case a new user will automatically become a member of the “Standard user group” assigned to the application.
Via the user group, the user automatically has the roles (= collection of rights) which are assigned to this user group.

New applications can be added, which makes the system very flexible and open to add completely new “modules”. Currently the following applications are included in the system:

Table 1.1. List of available applications
Application name	Description
System	This application is a special one which is only available to very few users with system administrator rights. Deep technical know how about the system is necessary to handle the functionalities provided here. Above all roles and permissions can be defined here and new clients can be created here.
Client	Every customer (as an organization) of the system has its own client in the system where he can define his own settings (e.g. email settings, an image that will be shown in the header of the screens. PDF files and emails). Users can be managed her as well as user groups (with roles and assigned users). Also the applications which should automatically be assigned to new users of this client can be defined here.
Home	Here every user can handle his own user data (login, password, language, email address, personal GUI design, …) and also invite another user via email to substitute him for a certain time period.
PA Administration	This application is for the administrative management of a parents association.
CRM	Customer relationship management (currently pending to be developed further).
