The Self Service User is a new license type that is available with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015. This new license is most beneficial for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 users that do not fall under the category of a FULL or LIMITED USER, but rather just need to be able to perform basic maintenance on a very limited scope of data. These users are Named users, instead of Concurrent users. The Self Service User CAL needs to be assigned to at least one of the following five roles.
ESS Employee
This role grants access to the Default areas of functionality, as well as the following areas:
Employee Timecard Entry
Employee Timecard History
ESS Employee - BSS
This role grants access to the Default areas of functionality, as well as the following areas:
